Joan has been a useful adjunct to advertising for many years: La Lorraine beer was among the sponsors of de Gombervaux's 1893 Jeanne d'Arc, Sa Mission, son Culte (left). She was popular in the collectible cards issues by various advertisers: Bryn Mawr's collection of ephemera includes four of the six-card series on Joan issued by the Compagnie Liebig, manufacturers of OXO bouillon cubes (right).
