Oi,

Last year, while on one of my antiquing trips, I came across a stack of art prints wrapped in plastic. I took a few glances at the art and immediately took all six and bought them. At the time, I had no idea what I bought, but the prints just spoke to me as they say.

Looking at them I felt like I was in a fairy land filled with beautiful people. I kept these prints in their plastic wraps tucked away in my closet. Since we’re in the process of moving, I had forgotten all about them.

Again, I glanced at the prints and immediately fell in love with each one. So, I did a bit of investigating on the net, to find out who made these prints and what type of style it is.

Alphonse Mucha was a Czech art nouveau painter and decorative artist. I had not realized that the prints I had were by this artists. Of course they are mere reprints, a bit older reprints, but still I loved them anyway.

Now I am a fan for life.

Ciao,
