Stunning Art Nouveau design featuring an elegant Camille wearing a flowing dress with a flower in her hair standing in front of shining silver stars with a hand holding a flower stem in front of her and stylised text and decorative borders above and below by the notable painter and decorative artist Alphonse Mucha (Alfons Maria Mucha; 1860-1939). Bernhardt loved Mucha’s iconic portrayal of her so much that she commissioned him to produce all the posters, stage and costume designs for six more of her productions from Gismonde in 1895 to Hamlet 1899; this one was her favourite design, which she used again for her American tours in 1905-1906 and 1910-1911.
