Zodiac (The Quill)
1896-1897
Meet the ultimate 1890s style icon! Alphonse Mucha designed this stunning cover for the Parisian literary magazine La Plume, perfectly capturing the wild, organic curves that defined the Art Nouveau movement. The woman's impossibly long, flowing golden hair weaves through a mystical halo of zodiac signs, blending astrology with advertising in a way that made Mucha an instant superstar. You can even spot a handy 1897 calendar tucked at the bottom, proving that even high art used to help you remember your appointments!
