La Pucelle, ou, La France deliuree is a 1656 heroic poem by Jean Chapelain, printed in Paris by Augustin Courbé and Jean Roger for French readers, about Joan of Arc. Its pictures are engraved headpieces of a coat of arms cartouche flanked by two seated allegorical figures, one in armour with a shield and spear, the other winged and helmeted, under a draped curtain and tent, offering a formal symmetrical frame a designer could adapt for heraldic or classical ornament.
