ALPHONSE MUCHA (1860-1939) LES CHANSONS ETERNELLES. Frontispiece. 1898.
10 1/2x6 1/2 inches, 26 3/4x16 1/2 cm.
Condition A / A-: light mat staining in margins; minor abrasions at edges; hinged to mat at top edge. Paper. Matted and framed.
For Paul Redonnel's book (see lot 187), Mucha designed the cover, which was also used as the frontispiece. As only 550 copies of the book were printed, we know that this lithograph only exists in that number as well. Mucha / Henderson p. 130, Mucha / Bridges L21.
