This beautiful artwork is by Alphonse Mucha, 1897.
It has only been recently that I discovered his art, and I'm starting to see it everywhere!
The postcard itself was printed in 1986.

I love this! I have seen many ads in magazines taken out and offered at flea markets. But I don't think I've seen one on a postcard.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sissy! Mucha is one of my favorite artists--in fact, I've been gathering a collection of his artistry, and others who emulated him, in order to learn how to draw in that style.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing this--I am going to put it into my collection... (grin)
((hugs))
I've never heard of him, but that's a great card. It definitely looks like something from another time.
ReplyDeletegorgeous as can be. I think he did quite a bit of advertizing with his art.
