1898ref. 14589AB1898. Paris F. Champenois 1898 85 : 135 cm. Original colour lithograph by Alphonse Mucha. Postcard of one of Mucha's most famous posters. Here reduced to postcard size but still very well to recognize. On the reverse side imprinted Postkarte - CARTE POSTALE -Post card. Union postale universelle and in 8 different languages. This is perhaps one of Mucha's best-known advertising poster. This poster established the iconic image of the 'Mucha woman' with her swirls of exaggeratedly abundant hair. 'JOB' is a trademark for the Joseph Badou Company manufacturing cigarette papers. In this poster Mucha placed the prominent female figure against a background featuring job monograms. Holding a lighted cigarette in her hand the woman leans her head backward sensually and rising smoke forms an arabesque interwining with her hair and the company logo. - Upper right edge a bit demaged the image perfect. unknown

Piazza Paris Avril 1898 41 x 56 cm une feuille Original black and white print with wide margins serving as the cover for the celebrated monthly publication L'Estampe Moderne. Entirely printed in black our print is the cover for the rare luxury volume binding with wide margins of the first year of publication. Artist's signature in the plate and deluxe edition number added in pencil. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe Moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Époque. Each issue of four prints was printed in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. French collectors' interest in artistic posters increased at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and posted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising purpose and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the luxury illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. The publisher also integrated into his project a Czech artist who had recently arrived in Paris Alfons Mucha ""qui s'est révélé depuis peu en France et qui a conquis d'emblée une si grande place dans la faveur du public. Comme dans ses affiches que tout le monde connaît et recherche il nous montre ici les ressources variées de son talent multiple et sûr de dessinateur de décorateur et de coloriste.""

Entirely printed in black and white our print is the cover of the rare collation in large-margin luxury print of the first year of publication. Artist's signature on the board and number of the tirage de luxe added in pencil. A magnificent monthly French publication that appeared between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne comprised unpublished chromolithographs that unlike those in other magazines like Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as is stipulated on the guard sheets were specially made by each artist for the magazine. There are thus 100 prints that appeared in total covering the major artistic currents of the late 19th Century: Symbolism Art Nouveau the Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and the Belle époque. Each fascicule of four prints was printed in 2000 copies and sold for 3.50F with 100 on Japan paper sold at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a very luxurious secret printing of 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black and white on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This well-sized print is superbly printed in colors on the most prestigious of papers: Japan. Thick creamy satin and with a nice sheen it contributes to making each page a work of art in itself. Its absorptive qualities for ink and its affinity for colors make it the ideal support for these lovely lithographs.The interest of French collectors for artistic posters grew from the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne invented a term for this growing interest: affichomanie or poster mania. The poster originally not rare and posted up in the streets of the capital thus became a work of art and its ephemeral background became precious and essential for conservation.Piazza decided to extract the poster from its advertising role and to elevate it to a form of art similarly to luxury illustrated artists' books. He thus put together a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most fashionable European artists of the age: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc.He also included in this project a Czech artist freshly arrived in Paris Alfonse Mucha who has only recently become active in France but who has immediately carved out for himself the affection of the public. Like in his posters which everyone knows and covets he shows us here the varied resources of his multifaceted talents as accomplished draughstman decorator and colorist from the notes printed on the guard for Salomé. The two first special numbers of the review were in fact dedicated to him and were given to all the subscribers for all twelve annual numbers of L'Estampe moderne as well as the famous illustration of the covers.A very beautiful copy.
