Rare color lithographic poster by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), announcing Austria's participation in the Paris Exposition of 1900.

The right side of the poster was designed by architect G. Rossman, and depicts architectural renderings of Austria's various buildings at the World's Fair. This was sometimes excised by collectors who only wanted Mucha's evocative image on the left.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
