Alphonse Mucha ֍ Poster for Gismonda (1894)

Gismonda, Victorien Sardou's four-act play, was premiered in the autumn of 1894 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris. Sarah Bernhardt was both director and actor. This poster by Mucha was produced to promote the new production which opened on 4 January, 1895.

Mucha portrayed Bernardt as an exotic Byzantine noblewoman wearing a splendid gown and an orchid headdress with a palm branch in her hand. This costume was worn in the last act, the climax of the play, where she joined the Easter procession. Placing her life-size figure on an arched platform, Mucha rendered the beauty and dignity of her personality onstage rather than representing her realistic features or the story.

Delighted with Mucha's design, Bernhardt continued to use this poster for her American tour in 1896.

Alphonse Mucha ֍ At the sight of the two storks the owl rose (1891)

Mucha produced 45 text illustrations and 10 full page illustrations for Xavier Marmier's book of fairy tales, Les Contes des Grand-mères.

The publisher, Librairie Furne, Jouvet et Cie, were so impressed by the illustrations that he decided to submit them for exhibition at the Paris Salon. To Mucha's surprise and delight, they received an honourable mention.

Alphonse Mucha ֍ Page's Costume: study for an illustration for 'Le Costume au Théâtre' (1890)

The publisher Lemercier gave Mucha a quasi permanent job making illustrations for Le Costume au Théâtre, a magazine devoted to the reproductions of stage sets and costumes from new productions in opera and theatre. His work with the magazine provided him with a fee and free tickets to plays. It was while he was working for Le Costume au Théâtre in 1890 that Mucha first drew Sarah Bernhardt as Cleopatra in the play by Victorien Sardou.
