What it is
A colour lithograph by Alphonse Mucha for La Dame aux Camélias with Sarah Bernhardt at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, dated 1896 and printed by F. Champenois, Paris. Rennert and Weill catalogue it as no. 13.
Why it matters
After Gismonda, Bernhardt kept Mucha on her posters, and the tall narrow format became the shape of each new role.
What to notice
The sheet is two and a half times as tall as it is wide, made to stand on a hoarding at full human height.
One actress, one printer, one tall sheet per role.
