Fêtes De Jeanne D'Arc Poster

France, 1914

37 x 52 in (94 x 132 cm)

ID #LB47X63TABLE-L-01

This original vintage poster pomotes celebrations for Jeanne D'Arc, the young girl who fought for France in the Hundred Year War and who is now regarded as a Catholic saint. She is shown here in a ghost-like sense, dressed in her armor and riding her hore over the town. This event had "pavoisons et illuminons" or ceremonies that involved illuminations and hanging flags. This is a simple poster in design but is truly quite beautiful.

Printer: Melzer

Please note this is linen-backed on canvas. 

Condition: Fair, the borders are quite yellowed and stained and the color is a little faded. There is restoration along the right border
