Large-size illustrations trace Mucha's skills as a draftsman over more than 40 years. Among the more famous examples are original plans and drawings for "The Seasons," sketches for the Sarah Bernhardt poster, studies from Mucha's stunning and innovative stylebooks, and a sketch for the St. Louis World's Fair poster.

You can admire Ventura's eye for detail of the costumes used in Mucha's designs. It's actually exciting to recognize the dress from a favorite print. For the price of this book, this makes a great reference for Costume Design and Mucha!
