Description

Signed Czech-language book: Otcenas. Prague: Union of Czech Graphic Society, [1899-1900]. Decorative Art Nouveau hardcover with pink title and gilt textblock, 7.75 x 10, 24 pages. Signed and inscribed on the half-title page in fountain pen, "A Madame James, bien respectueusement, Mucha / New York 28/4 1905." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/None.

Otčenáš by Alphonse Mucha is a decorative art book that presents the Lord’s Prayer through images and design rather than just text. It includes eight ornamental plates, seven illustrated plates, and seven calligraphic plates, all featuring Mucha’s distinctive Art Nouveau style. Each part of the prayer is paired with stylized imagery and ornate lettering, creating a simple visual progression from struggle to spiritual understanding, so the book feels more like a sequence of artworks than a typical book.
