DESCRIPTION:
Low quality The artworks on these cards are reproduced very well and look beautiful. The artwork side is glossy and lovely, however, the paper side is made of stock so very thin and flimsy, it bleeds quite heavily when one is using a fountain or dip pen to write on. I wouldn't send any of these to an international address, they may very well survive but would probably be foxed around the edges or even torn.. Sarah Jones said Mucha Postcard book. This is the second product I have received that was made by Dover. The quality is great and the pictures are glossy and nice. My concern is that it is sometimes difficult to get the postcards from the book. If you are just purchasing this to keep them in the book, then that might not concern you. However, I participate in Postcrossing and I know that postcards can get damaged in the mail, but I try not to send them out damaged from the beginning. I have bent a few of my cards trying to get them from the middle of the book. It didn't take much to fix it, but I wish it was. Miranda said Great printing, but thin cards.. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the color on these was nice and bright. Often with Mucha reprints you find dark, dingy, brown-tone things. The printing is crisp and high quality, though I'd prefer a matte card.However, the card itself is quite thin. It will probably be fine for travel within your own country, but I'm not sure how it will fair on international journeys or countries will less reliable mail services. I suppose I'll find that out soon enough though.
This card collection reproduces in sumptuous full color twenty-four of the Art Nouveau master's most famous posters and panels. Displaying his preference for gentle pastels, elaborate borders, and beautiful women, the pocket-size masterpieces include Zodiac, one of the artist's most popular and enduring designs; Sarah Bernhardt/La Plume; the richly decorative Rêverie; the rare Cognac Bisquit;and twenty other works of art.Ideal for use as distinctive stationery and bookmarks, the attractive cards are accompanied by descriptive paragraphs that include title, printer, date, and other relevant data.. No artist was more influential during the golden age of the poster than Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860-1939), whose striking, ornate artwork sent his career soaring in the 1890s
