The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris.
Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc, or Joan of Arc (c. 1412 – 30th. May 1431) was nicknamed 'The Maid of Orléans' (French: 'La Pucelle d'Orléans'). She is a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Catholic saint.
She was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family, at Domrémy in the Vosges of northeast France.
Late in the Hundred Years' War, Joan claimed to have received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination.
The as-yet-unanointed King Charles VII sent Joan to the Siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's consecration at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory at Castillon in 1453.
On 23 May 1430, she was captured at Compiègne by the Burgundian faction, a group of French nobles allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English and put on trial by the pro-English bishop Pierre Cauchon on a variety of charges. After Cauchon declared her guilty, she was burned at the stake in May 1431, dying at about nineteen years of age.
In 1456, an inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, debunked the charges against her, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. In the 16th. century she became a symbol of the Catholic League, and in 1803 she was declared a national symbol of France by Napoleon Bonaparte.
She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. Joan of Arc is one of the nine secondary patron saints of France, along with Saint Denis, Saint Martin of Tours, Saint Louis, Saint Michael, Saint Rémi, Saint Petronilla, Saint Radegund and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
Joan of Arc has remained a popular figure in literature, painting, sculpture, and other cultural works since the time of her death, and many famous writers, playwrights, filmmakers, artists, and composers have created, and continue to create, cultural depictions of her.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.

My photo of Minne the Lake Creature was published in the April '12 issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine after it was found on flickr.
"SHE'S BAAACK!
→ Like those neighbors you haven't seen all winter, Minne the Lake Creature reappears each spring to jazz up our lives. There's no telling where she'll pop up. She likes all the Minneapolis lakes. If you do see her, don't ask if she wintered in Florida (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Minne takes pride in being a hardy Minnesota gal who likes to stay close to home."
Full disclosure: The photo was meant to highlight the return of the floating sculpture to the Chain of Lakes, but the photo was actually taken last fall.

La talentuosa compositrice americana Shara Worden, alias My Brightest Diamond, arriva in Italia per un’unica data a febbraio per presentare il nuovo album This is My Hand, uscito a settembre sempre per la label Asthmatic Kitty Records.
Non molte artiste possono vantare di avere un gruppo rock, essere in grado di cantare la Terza Sinfonia di Górecki, condurre una marching band per le strade del prestigioso festival Sundance, eseguire un'opera barocca di propria composizione, e tutto in un mese. Shara Worden può.
La sua carriera poliedrica con la sua creatura My Brightest Diamond, che ha avuto inizio con l’acclamato debutto Bring Me the Workhorse nel 2006, rispecchia il suo viaggio nel mondo dell’arte. This is my hand, il suo quarto album, segna un deciso ritorno alla musica rock, con incredibile padronanza della composizione e una nuova esplorazione nell’universo elettronico.
Nata in Arkansas e poi allevata in giro per gli States, la talentuosa polistrumentista Shara Worden proviene da una famiglia di viaggiatori musicisti evangelici.
In seguito si è trasferita a NY dove ha continuato a studiare canto lirico e composizione classica.
Dopo un periodo nella band AwRY e dopo aver suonato con Sufjan Stevens, Shara ha esordito col nome di My Brightest Diamond nel 2006 con Bring Me The Workhorse, a cui è seguito A Thousand Sharks’ Teeth nel 2008, e nel 2011 All Things Will Unwind.
Negli anni di attività come MBD, Shara ha collaborato con moltissimi artisti e preso parte a diversi progetti. Nel 2008 ha lavorato con Laurie Anderson, nel 2009 è stata ospite nell’album dei Decemberists Hazards of Love e successivamente in tour con la band, per poi partecipare al progetto multimediale The Long Count di Bryce e Aaron Dessner dei The National. E’ stata poi al fianco di David Byrne nel concept Here Lies Love ed ha collaborato con Fat Boy Slim, Bon Iver, e The Blind Boys of Alabama.
Un’altra recente collaborazione l’ha vista al fianco di Matthew Barney e Jonathan Bepler nella cine-opera di 6 ore River of Fundament, girata nelle fabbriche di automobili di di Detroit, e fonte di ispirazione fondamentale per il nuovo album This is my hand. Prodotto dalla stessa Shara e dal tastierista Zac Rae, l'album è un capitolo fondamentale nella storia artistica di MBD. Quello che Shara porterà in tour è un vortice di fiati, vibrafono e synth, che rispecchia un’idea di musica capace di unire le persone, una musica per grandi spazi, non solo sale musicali e piste da ballo, ma caminetti e chiese, e prima di tutto una musica da marching band capace di coinvolgere e sollevare.
“Diamonds,” Shara sings, “so wild I cannot tame them / so shiny I cannot name them.”

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris and Versailles. The card has a divided back.
La Dame au Gant
The Lady With The Glove was painted by Carolus-Duran (1837, Lille - 1917, Paris). It is a portrait of Mme Carolus-Duran, née Pauline Croizette.
The painting was in the Musée du Luxembourg until 1929, after which it was moved to the Louvre where it stayed until 1982, since when it has been in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
The large oil on canvas painting is 228 cm (89.7 in) high and 164 cm (64.5 in) wide, and weighs in at a hefty 76 kg. At bottom left it bears Carolus-Duran's signature and the date 1869.
La Dame au Gant was first exhibited at the Salon of the Palais des Champs Elysées in Paris in 1869. It was a great success, and won a medal. Since then it has been featured in a further 25 exhibitions held throughout the world, with the most recent being High Society at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2018.
The Lady with the Glove is a life-sized full-length portrait of the artist's young wife. It is an archetypal formal portrait, presenting a sober composition, masterful drawing and delicate use of colour.
Madame Carolus-Duran stands out from a near-empty background which is painted in shades of grey and black. The dark, changing colours of the gown catch the eye, as do three interrelated elements:
-- The young woman's face and fashionable hairstyle.
-- Her hands, one drawing off a pearly grey glove.
-- The glove on the ground underlined by the painter's signature, in red. This anecdotal detail gives the work a modern instantaneous look which is why Emile Zola saw in Carolus-Duran a disciple of Manet.
The Postcard
A DP Series postcard that was printed and published by E. T. W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of Scarborough. The rather obscure joke isn't very funny.
The card was posted in Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire on Monday the 17th. August 1970 to:
Mr. & Mrs. F. Hardy,
Lees Lane,
Winterton,
Scunthorpe,
Lincolnshire.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Arrived safe. It is
raining this morning -
no good to do a bit
of harvesting today.
Hope the weather is
a bit better for you.
Daisy".
Venera 7
So what else happened on the day that Daisy posted the card?
Well, the 17th. August 1970 marked the launch of Venera 7.
Venera 7 was a Soviet spacecraft, part of the Venera series of probes to Venus. When it landed on the Venusian surface on the 15th. December 1970, it became the first spacecraft to soft-land on another planet, and the first to transmit data from there back to Earth.
Launch of the Venera 7
The probe was launched from Earth on the 17th. August 1970, at 05:38 UTC. It consisted of an interplanetary bus, based on the 3MV system, and a lander. During the flight to Venus, two in-course corrections were made using the bus's on-board engine.
Design of the Venera 7 Lander
The 500 kg lander was designed to be able to survive pressure of up to 180 bars and temperatures of up to 580 °C. This was significantly greater than what was expected to be encountered, but significant uncertainties as to the surface temperatures and pressure of Venus resulted in the designers opting for a large margin of error.
The interplanetary bus carried a solar wind charged particle detector and a cosmic ray detector. On the lander there were temperature and pressure sensors as well as an accelerometer to measure atmospheric density. The probe also carried a radar altimeter.
The Touch-Down of the Lander
Venera 7 entered the atmosphere of Venus on the 15th. December 1970. The lander remained attached to the interplanetary bus during the initial stages of atmospheric entry to allow the bus to cool the lander to −8 °C (17 °F) for as long as possible.
The lander was ejected once atmospheric buffeting broke the interplanetary bus's lock-on with Earth. The parachute opened at a height of 60 km, and atmospheric testing began with results showing the atmosphere to be 97% carbon dioxide.
The parachute was initially reefed down to 1.8 square metres, opening to 2.5 square metres 13 minutes later, when the reefing line melted as designed.
Six minutes after the un-reefing, the parachute started to fail, resulting in a descent more rapid than planned. The parachute eventually failed completely, and the probe entered a period of freefall. As a result, the lander struck the surface of Venus at about 16.5 m/s (37 mph).
The probe appeared to go silent on impact, but recording tapes kept rolling. A few weeks later, upon a review of the tapes by the radio astronomer Oleg Rzhiga, 23 minutes of very weak signals were found on them. The spacecraft had landed on Venus, and probably bounced onto its side, leaving the antenna not aimed correctly for strong signal transmission to Earth.
The probe transmitted information to Earth for a total of 53 minutes, which included about 20 minutes from the surface. It was found that the temperature at the surface of Venus was 475 °C (887 °F). From the spacecraft's rapid halt (from falling to stationary inside 0.2 seconds), it was possible to conclude that the craft had hit a solid surface with low levels of dust.
The probe provided information about the surface of Venus, which could not be seen through a thick veil of atmosphere. The spacecraft definitively confirmed that humans cannot survive on the surface of Venus, and excluded the possibility that there is any liquid water on Venus.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 3rd of May 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.

All profits from this book will go to two charitable organizations still working in the Gulf Coast.
"Signs of Life is a remarkable collection of the most striking Gulf Coast signs that appeared following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Taken by over forty photographers—local residents, relief volunteers, and those passing through—the messages in Signs of Life are sacred and profane, defiant and defeated, heartbreaking and humorous, frightening and encouraging. They remind us that everyone has a story to tell."
—Josh Neufeld, author of Katrina Came Calling
"It's impossible to speak for the people who lived through Katrina. Far better to let them speak for themselves. That's exactly what these images (sad, hopeful, funny, enraging) capture—and it's exactly what Signs of Life is about."
—Rob Walker, author of Letters from New Orleans
*****Profits from sales of the book will go to two organizations still working in the area: Common Ground Relief and Hands On Network.*****
I am honored to have a picture included in this noble endeavor.
