"The French Heroine: Joan of Arc, Inspiring Faith and Courage" Joan of Arc, known as The Maid, captivated her countrymen with her unwavering faith and indomitable courage. Her story is beautifully depicted in the illustrations from Heroes & Heroines of English History by Alice S. Hoffman. In one illustration, we see Joan leading her men fearlessly into battle, holding the standard high as a symbol of hope and determination. Her presence alone inspired those around her to fight for their homeland. A plaque depicting Joan's armor serves as a powerful reminder of her bravery on the battlefield. This stone relic represents the strength she possessed both physically and mentally during times of war. However, not all moments in Joan's life were triumphant. In Les Vigiles de Charles VII, an emotional black-and-white photograph captures the heart-wrenching scene where she stands at the stake. Even in this darkest hour, she remained steadfast in her beliefs until the very end. Charles VII, King of France during that time period, recognized Joan's extraordinary spirit and relied on her guidance to liberate Orleans from English control. A vivid image portrays their alliance - two figures united against adversity. Engraved by T. Holloway is another depiction showing Joan declaring her divine mission to save France from its enemies. Her conviction shines through every line etched onto paper - a testament to her unyielding dedication. As we delve deeper into history through The Story of France series, we encounter an iconic plate titled "Enter Then For The City Is Yours. " It encapsulates the moment when victory was within reach thanks to Joan's leadership and strategic brilliance. Preserved terracotta fragments believed to be a likeness of Joan offer us a glimpse into what this remarkable woman may have looked like during those tumultuous times. These remnants serve as tangible evidence that she once walked among us - an embodiment of courage personified.
