The Musical Guide by Henri Meunier, 1896

Henri Meunier designed this captivating poster for the Belgian music journal 'Le Guide Musical' in 1896, perfectly capturing the elegant curves of the Art Nouveau movement. A serene, winged figure—perhaps a muse of music—reaches out holding a branch of leaves against a vibrant teal sky, framed by stylized golden foliage. The bold, flat colors and strong outlines are hallmarks of Meunier's style, intended to grab attention on the streets of Brussels. Printed by Litho. Renette, this piece is a beautiful example of how graphic design elevated advertising into high art at the turn of the century.
