EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring presence of Joan of Arc's equestrian statue in Washington, D.C. between 1922 and 1942. The statue, a cast made in 1922 of Paul Dubois' original 1889 sculpture, stands proudly amidst the backdrop of the city's architectural wonders. Joan of Arc, also known as Jeanne d'Arc or La Pucelle de Orleans, is depicted as a fearless warrior woman, riding her horse with unwavering determination. Her armor-clad figure, adorned with a helmet and shield, exudes strength and courage. The horses, too, seem to embody the spirit of the era, their powerful forms frozen in time. The statue, located in the heart of the United States capital, is a testament to the enduring influence of French culture and history in America. It serves as a reminder of the significant role Joan of Arc played in French history as a military leader and a symbol of national pride. Arnold Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured this image using a nitrate negative, adding an extra layer of depth and texture to the photograph. The monochromatic palette of the image further emphasizes the timeless quality of the statue and the historical significance of the scene. The photograph is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and is a valuable addition to the heritage of art and history in the United States.
