Alphonse Mucha got his breakout into the international art world with the creation of his first Bernhardt poster of her in the Play Gismonda in 1894. From that moment onward, the new art form of "Art Nouveau" was created, and he was the master. This lot is a collection of 46 original photo-postcards of Bernhardt as an actress in many of her plays. The group includes such plays as: La Dame aux Camelias (7 cards); Joan of Arc (2 cards); Medeb (1); Esther (3); L’Aiglon (15); unidentified plays (18); eight cards of Bernhardt in costumes that must have flamed the Art Nouveau fires.
This is a collection worthy of any advanced art nouveau collection.
