"The Maid of Orléans"






What am I looking at? 
A photo of...

...wait. Is this some shitty filler material because you've already run out of ideas to report? 
No. We have other things to tell you about but but they're not quite ready yet. So for now, we can talk about this.

Sure. Carry on... 
Well, remember at the beginning of the year we promised that we'd post more from our famed found photos collection? Well this is part of that series.

I remember. Tell me what makes this particular photo so special? 
There is a lot we find interesting about it. Firstly, we can't really tell when this photo was taken and also have some difficulty deciding what its all about. Does it depict some kind of folksy nostalgia or is it just a random idiot kid playing dress up in the garden? What is the purpose of that chapel/ tent thing? Why does the kid have a sword? Is she Joan of Arc? What is she pointing at?

I see. It does provoke lots of questions. 
Yes.

Do you have anything else to add? 
No.

Ok. Thanks. Bye.
