Complete set of four official archival pigment prints published in 1973 by athena reproductions ltd., london, under official license from the original works. Thanks to this direct licensing, the set offers absolute color fidelity to the authentic works of the art nouveau master, alphonse mucha (1860–1939). Currently, this is the only complete set of this series available on the international market, as assembling the complete series is now extraordinarily difficult.
the set includes the four masterpieces of the series with their official titles:
1. The moon (la lune)
2. The evening star (l’étoile du soir)
3. The morning star (l’étoile du matin)
4. The north star (l’étoile polaire)
these prints belong to the first numbered edition, bear the original catalog number 30/6319, and were printed in england on high-quality satin paper, retaining the original inscription in the lower margin:
“© athena reproductions ltd london 1973 · alphonse mucha · printed in england”.
coming directly from the publisher's workshop, they are part of a preserved lot that maintains its spectacular original satin sheen and the exact vibrancy of its official colors.
the prints are in perfect archival condition, having never been hung, framed, or exposed to light. Only the panel of "the evening star" (l'étoile du soir) shows some slight wear at the corners due to the natural aging of the period paper. This detail is purely peripheral and does not affect its value in any way, as the main illustration is intact and the edges are completely hidden once framed.
the set faithfully reproduces the celebrated series created by mucha in 1902, dedicated to celestial symbolism and considered one of his most refined compositions. Each female figure represents a beautiful allegory of the manifestation of light and nighttime. This piece has an attribution mark,
