The story of Monaco Monte-Carlo
Mucha designed this 1897 poster for the P.L.M. railway line between Paris and Monaco-Monte Carlo. It shows neither a train nor an identifiable scene of Monaco; instead a young woman in a kind of reverie is surrounded by swirling floral images that suggest the turning wheels of a train. It was printed by F. Champenois for the artistic poster series of the review La Plume.

Alphonse Mucha
Alfons Maria Mucha, known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist. Living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, he was widely known for his distinctly stylised and decorative theatrical posters, particularly those of Sarah Bernhardt. He produced illustrations, advertisements, decorative panels, as well as designs, which became among the best-known images of the period.
