Lot 237
MUCHA ALPHONSE: (1860-1939) Czech Art Nouveau Painter & Decorative Artist. A.L.S., Mucha, one page, 8vo (folding Carte Pneumatique), n.p. (Montparnasse, Paris), n.d. (February 1903), to Monsieur Duberry ('Cher ami'), at the Comedie Francaise, in French. Mucha thanks his friend for their letter and remarks 'well, if you would like to, and can, and if by chance that day doesn't clash with the dress rehearsal at Mme. Sarah's house - please think of me for the four places for next Monday'. A few minor, light ink blots to a few letters of the text, but not the signature, and some extremely light age wear, otherwise VG Mucha evidently refers to Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923, French Stage Actress) in the present letter. The artist had first designed an advertising poster for a play in which the actress appeared in January 1895 and, Bernhardt being very satisfied with the results, engaged in a six year contract with Mucha.
