The editor of the publishing journal L’Art Photographique George Carre had stressed his intentions, but inability to have photographic covers for the journal. The talented Artist Alphonso Mucha was hired to produce innovative Art Nouveau style covers that would be frequently used for the publication. This piece is from no.3 of the publication and shows the natural elements favoured in Art Nouveau, with intricate outline flowers creating depth and character whilst the magazine element of flowing titles and borders take the forefront of the piece. This is a beautiful example of the talents of Mucha and a testament to the beginning of his prolific career in Paris.
