Alphonse Mucha Book of Postcards

Alphonse Mucha's (1860–1939) poster for Sarah Bernhardt's 1894 production of Gismonda thrust the young Czechoslovakian painter into the forefront of the Art Nouveau movement—-for the next five years he designed posters for nearly all Bernhardt's new productions, as well as posters for publisher F. Champenois and other clients. With their flowing design and subtle, sumptuous colors, Mucha's posters are among the most elegant products of the Art Nouveau era. This book of postcards presents thirty of his loveliest designs. Pomegranate's books of postcards contain up to thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver. Postcards are oversized and may require additional postage. - INDIVIDUAL ITEM RRP £8.99
