- Title
JOAN OF ARC'S GUNPOWDER ARTILLERY in Cecil B. DeMille's Joan the Woman (1916).
- Authors
Manning, Scott
- Abstract
The article focuses on Cecil B. DeMille's silent film "Joan the Woman" which is remarkable marginalization of Joan of Arc's military experience, as every one of the sieges she participated in featured gunpowder weapons. It mentions DeMille to depict gunpowder artillery as he did in the film and aesthetic mimicked what was readily available to him through Joan of Arc exhibitions and ephemera from the Ringling Bros.
