1929 Joan of Arc HUGE Brentano France Hundred Years War Color Illustrated French

"One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying."
– Joan of Arc

Until the end of the 18th-century, the story of Joan of Arc was merely a legend, and little was written in histories about her life. She is considered a heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. Joan of Arc has been a popular figure in cultural history since the time of her death, and many famous writers, filmmakers and composers have created works about her.
This early 20th-century illustrated book of the life and heroics of Joan of Arc was written by Franz Funck Brentano. And while the contents of this book are notable and important, the most important aspect of this work is the incredible color illustrations by Octave Guillonnet.
