"How Joan the Maid of Lorraine saw visions

and was called upon to deliver France" (1914)

The Christmas Edition of The Illustrated London News

Illustration by Kay Nielsen

When first published in the Christmas Edition of The Illustrated London News, this image was associated with the

following text:

In those days the Lord stirred up the spirit of a certain marvelous Maiden, born

on the borders of France, in the duchy of Lorraine, and the see of Toul, towards

the Imperial territories. This Maiden her father and mother employed in tending

sheep; daily, too, did she handle the distaff; man's love she knew not: no sin, as

it is said, was found in her; to her innocence the neighbours bore witness.
