Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) - Lot 168
Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939)
Job, 1897
Rare lithograph on paper.
From the iconic Portfolio produced for the first poster exhibition held in St. Petersburg in 1897.
Dimensions :
+ Sheet size: 34 x 25.5 cm
+ Image size: 23 x 15.5 cm
Condition: In good overall condition, with light handling creases, a few light folds, and minor staining to edges. Small section missing from lower left corner. The image is otherwise very clean, with bright, vivid colors.
The portfolio consists of 39 lithographic plates (smaller versions) of the largest posters printed between 1890 and 1897.
Many of the images in the series are so rare that they cannot be found today in any other format.
Like the famous Maitre de l'Affiche series created by Cheret in Paris, the portfolio celebrates the rise of the poster in Europe at the turn of the 19th century.
Printed in St. Petersburg by the Imperial Court Printing House. R. Golicke.
