"Joan of Arc" published on July 3,1938 in the American Weekly Sunday magazine painted by Edmund Dulac. Joan of Arc was a simple 15th century peasant girl who tended her fathers flocks-but she heard voices and had visions. Here artist Dulac portrays the revelation that turned her from a child into a fighting woman. Her hands joined in prayer as she squatted on the flower spotted grass, Joan saw Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine, and between them the Archangel Michael, leader of the celestial armies, clad in armor, with upraised sword.
