La Mouche Advertisement

An Art Nouveau poster, whats not to like..?! La Mouche is a car produced by a French company Teste et Moret at the penultimate turn of the century. Only about 300 of these were made (in the 1898-1903 period) and seven are still known to exist. 

I often wonder how exciting the life was in those golden times of inventions...

Love this, and the stamp too, thank you Inez!

The Expectation By Gustav Klimt

I have swapped for this card merely because it looked beautiful, now I learn it is one in a series of three mosaics named Stoclet Frieze, a detail of The Expectation. As it is placed in the Brussles' Stoclet Palace it also turns out to be a part of an Unesco site, never thought there would be such a connection...! Many thanks to Zuzana who also used such pretty stamps :))

Mucha - Monaco, Monte-Carlo

Thanks a bunch Elishka :)

Art Nouveau In Riga, Latvia

As a big fan of Art Nouveau I was very happy to swap for this card, which also qualifies for my UNESCO collection (I have posted about Riga before) -  it is generally recognized that Riga has the finest collection of Art Nouveau/Jugendstil  buildings in Europe.
