EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Alphonse Mucha, titled "Mucha: Cigarette Papers" is a stunning example of art nouveau advertising from the late 19th century. Created in 1897 for Job cigarette papers, this French poster showcases Mucha's signature style and attention to detail. The central focus of the print is a beautifully rendered woman holding a cigarette, surrounded by intricate patterns and delicate floral motifs. The graceful curves and flowing lines characteristic of art nouveau are evident throughout the composition, lending an air of elegance and sophistication to the advertisement. In addition to its artistic merits, this lithograph serves as a reminder of the cultural significance of smoking during that era. Smoking was not only seen as fashionable but also associated with notions of freedom and independence for women. Alphonse Mucha's work often featured strong female figures who embodied these ideals, making his designs highly sought after by advertisers seeking to appeal to modern women consumers. This particular print captures both the essence of Mucha's artistic style and the allure surrounding smoking at that time. It stands as a testament to his talent as well as an intriguing glimpse into turn-of-the-century advertising techniques. Displayed here courtesy of The Granger Collection in New York City, this print offers viewers a chance to appreciate one artist's contribution to both commercial design and fine art during an exciting period in history.
