Label TextThis advertising poster for Mark Twain's biographical study of Joan of Arc, which he considered his most important work, published after twelve years of research and many months in France. The image represents one of the few designs that Grasset created for American clients. The illustration of Joan of Arc, without the poster lettering, was sold as a collectible print.
