Mark Twain's Joan of Arc

1894

Mark Twain surprisingly considered this historical novel his masterpiece, ranking it above Tom Sawyer. This 1894 poster by Eugène Grasset captures the teenage heroine in a moment of quiet determination, clad in armor and gripping her standard while surrounded by grizzled soldiers. The design beautifully blends bold, red Art Nouveau typography with a detailed, engraving-style illustration, creating a striking visual that bridges medieval history and modern graphic design.
