ALPHONSE MUCHA (1866-1939) DOCUMENTS DECORATIFS DE MUCHA. Plate 13. 1902. 171/2x121/2 inches. Condition A. Framed. Although advertising the very portfolio in which this plate appears, this image (plate 13) was never used to promote the book. Instead, the publisher chose a far less decorative image, which ultimately would have been cheaper to print and was a more efficient promotion. This plate, like so many in the portfolio, is a tour-de-force of design wherein Mucha shows his incredible talent as a draughtsman and his masterly use of the vertical format. Rennert / Weill A7.
