EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the humble room in Domremy, north-eastern France, where the legendary heroine Joan of Arc was born in 1412. The scene, as depicted in this 1812 print by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a rural 1810s setting. The room, simple yet filled with character, is dominated by the large wooden barn door, its rough texture and worn hinges a testament to the passage of time. A ladder leans against the wall, suggesting the presence of a loft or hayloft, a common feature of rural French farmhouses of the era. The room's other furnishings, including a wooden bench and a woven basket, add to the authenticity of the scene. Joan of Arc, the peasant girl who would go on to lead the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, was born in this room, the daughter of Jacques and Isabelle de Domremy. Her extraordinary life, filled with visions, military triumphs, and ultimately her tragic death at the hands of the English, would make her a symbol of French national pride and a revered figure in history. This print, titled 'Room in which Joan of Arc was born, in Domremy, north-eastern France, as it existed in 1812,' invites us to contemplate the simple beginnings of this remarkable woman, whose legacy continues to inspire and captivate people around the world.
