What it is
Plate 182 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche volume 4, catalogued on Commons under Mucha's Bieres de la Meuse.
Why it matters
The page dates it 1895 rather than the 1899 claimed. It carries Mucha's signature apparatus: the standing figure set inside a decorative disc, hair unwinding into ornament, a narrow vertical field the eye climbs rather than scans.
What to notice
Mucha's Bieres de la Meuse woman, haloed and hair-swept, in the miniature Chaix reprint.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
