MUCHA Alphonse (1860-1939) Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) Job, 1897 Rare original lithograph on paper with gold ink! From the iconic Portfolio created for the first poster exhibition held in St. Petersburg in 1897. Dimensions: + Sheet size: 34 x 25.5 cm / 13.4 x 10 in. + Image size: 20.5 x 15.5 cm / 8.1 x 6.1 in. Condition: In good overall condition, with light handling creases, a few light creases, a few minor stains and a few small edge tears. A small loss in the lower left corner; paper slightly yellowed. 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 in any other format today. 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 S. Petersburg by the Imperial Court Printing House. R. Golicke.
