EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing and imaginative illustration from the June 12, 1912 issue of Puck magazine, Joan of Arc is depicted in a forested grove, deep in contemplation. Surrounded by trees and bathed in a soft, ethereal light, the young warrior saint is in the midst of a vision. But this is no ordinary vision. Instead, Joan beholds a figure that defies the expectations of her time: Theodore Roosevelt, clad in a suit of armor and wielding a large, ornate sword labeled "Third Term." Roosevelt, who had already served two terms as President of the United States, was a man of great ambition and charisma. The idea of a third term was a contentious issue, with many arguing that the Constitution's 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms, had not yet been ratified. This illustration, created by an unknown artist, plays on the idea of Roosevelt's potential third term as a divine calling, drawing a parallel between the French heroine Joan of Arc and the American president. The use of Joan of Arc in this context is an intriguing choice, as she was a historical figure known for her military leadership and her connection to divine guidance. The image of her receiving a vision from Roosevelt, who was known for his robust personality and political savvy, adds an element of surprise and intrigue. Overall, this illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the political and cultural climate of the early 20th century, and a testament to the power of the imagination.
