Orleans, France - The 500th Anniversary - Joan of Arc
Orleans, France - The President of France (Joseph Athanase Gaston) Paul Doumer (1857-1932) and his principal Ministers lead a parade to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of Jeane D Arc hearing the voices which led her on her path to iconic status. In 1426, when the 100 years war was in its 90th year, French farm girl Joan began hearing the voices of three saints, instructing her to lead the French forces. Having made an uncannily prophesy, Joan was granted an audience with the Dauphin, Charles. To test her, he disguised himself, but she instantly picked him out. This was accepted as proof of her divine inspiration, and, in spite of her age and gender, she was put at the head of the French army. Date: 1926

Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Orleans, France as President Paul Doumer and his principal ministers lead a grand parade to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Joan of Arc's legendary encounter with the voices that set her on the path to becoming a national icon. In 1426, during the 90th year of the Hundred Years War, Joan, a humble farm girl from the region, began hearing the voices of three saints instructing her to lead the French forces. Her uncanny ability to make accurate prophecies and her unwavering conviction earned her an audience with the Dauphin, Charles, who was impressed by her divine inspiration and put her at the head of the French army, despite her age and gender. This defied the norms of the time and made Joan an enduring symbol of courage and determination. The parade in 1926, held under the wet and inclement weather, was a testament to the enduring legacy of Joan of Arc as a figurehead of military and French national pride. The photograph, taken during this historic occasion, captures the essence of this iconic moment in French history.
