Postcard of one of Mucha's most famous posters. Here reduced to postcard size, but still very well to recognize. On the reverse side imprinted Postkarte - CARTE POSTALE - Post card. Union postale universelle, and in 8 different languages. This is perhaps one of Mucha's best-known advertising poster. This poster established the iconic image of the 'Mucha woman' with her swirls of exaggeratedly abundant hair. 'JOB' is a trademark for the Joseph Badou Company, manufacturing cigarette papers. In this poster, Mucha placed the prominent female figure against a background featuring job monograms. Holding a lighted cigarette in her hand, the woman leans her head backward sensually, and rising smoke forms an arabesque, interwining with her hair and the company logo. - Upper right edge a bit demaged, the image perfect.
