Art Nouveau

Lorenzaccio (Sarah Bernhardt). Poster. Alphonse Mucha, 1896. Theatre de la Renaissance, Paris.

From Parkland Library, "Advertising, Reflections of a Century" by Bryan Holme.
It functions as a promotion for a theatre performance, starring the famous French actress, Sarah Bernhardt, as well as "where" and "what" (as in, what the play is called). I really enjoyed the borders and floral design as well as the gentle figure portrayed in this. The font has horizontal and vertical positioning acting as an extension of the frame. The font has a bit of a serif and looks very consistent.

I really like Mucha's artwork, and I didn't even know who made it before so I'm very interested in finding out more about him. His art and design seem very feminine and warm; It really draws me right to it.
