EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Joan at the walls of Paris" captures a pivotal moment in history. Created by artist John Leech around 1860, it depicts Joan of Arc during the siege of Paris in 1429. Known as The Maid of Orléans, Joan played a significant role in English history. In this comical yet powerful illustration from "The Comic History of England" we see Joan standing confidently before the walls of Paris. Dressed in armor and wielding her sword, she exudes strength and determination. Despite being outnumbered and facing formidable opposition, her unwavering spirit shines through. Leech's caricature style adds a touch of humor to this historical scene without diminishing its significance. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and conflict, there is room for satire and laughter. This print transports us back to the 19th century when literature was used to depict historical events with both accuracy and entertainment value. Gilbert A. A Beckett's publication aimed to educate readers about England's past while providing amusement. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Joan's bravery but also the enduring power of women throughout history. Her legacy as Sainte Jeanne d'Arc continues to inspire generations worldwide.
