EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by artist John Leech, we are transported back to the 19th century to witness a comical scene featuring Joan of Arc. Titled "Joan trying it on" the artwork is part of "The Comic History of England" series by Gilbert A. Beckett. Depicting Joan as a captive in her armor, the image humorously captures her attempting to fit into the heavy attire with an expression of determination mixed with confusion. Known as The Maid of Orléans, Joan of Arc was a historical figure who played a significant role in English history during the 15th century. Leech's caricature style adds an element of satire to this portrayal, highlighting both the absurdity and charm behind Joan's predicament. The monochrome engraving emphasizes every detail, from the intricate design on her armor to her facial features filled with curiosity. This print serves as a reminder not only of Joan's bravery and resilience but also reflects upon societal views towards women at that time. It offers us a glimpse into how historical figures were interpreted through art during the Victorian era. As we admire this piece, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value while contemplating the complex layers within British history and literature that continue to fascinate us today.
