Orleans, France - The 500th Anniversary - Joan of Arc
Orleans, France - The President of France (Joseph Athanase Gaston) Paul Doumer (1857-1932) and his principal Ministers lead a parade to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of Jeane D Arc hearing the voices which led her on her path to iconic status. In 1426, when the 100 years war was in its 90th year, French farm girl Joan began hearing the voices of three saints, instructing her to lead the French forces. Having made an uncannily prophesy, Joan was granted an audience with the Dauphin, Charles. To test her, he disguised himself, but she instantly picked him out. This was accepted as proof of her divine inspiration, and, in spite of her age and gender, she was put at the head of the French army. Date: 1926

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Orleans, France as President Paul Doumer and his principal ministers lead a grand parade to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Joan of Arc's legendary encounter with the voices that set her on the path to becoming a national icon. In 1426, during the 90th year of the Hundred Years War, Joan, a humble farm girl from the region, began hearing the voices of three saints instructing her to lead the French forces. Her uncanny ability to make accurate prophecies and her unwavering conviction earned her an audience with the Dauphin, Charles, who was impressed by her divine inspiration and put her at the head of the French army, despite her age and gender. This defied the norms of the time and made Joan an enduring symbol of courage and determination. The parade in 1926, held under the wet and inclement weather, was a testament to the enduring legacy of Joan of Arc as a figurehead of military and French national pride. The photograph, taken during this historic occasion, captures the essence of this iconic moment in French history.
