Lefèvre-Utile: 2 Box Tops. 1901.
Mucha created a host of box designs for the Lefèvre-Utile biscuit company, each consisting of a central design and two back-to-back trademarks, all printed on one sheet. In the individual distinguishing pictures, Mucha depicted fashionable social occasions at which biscuits are being consumed, mostly with wine—otherwise, lush nymphs enjoying the outdoors also suit the purpose. All of the background patterns, ornamental borders, and decorative elements are executed with Mucha’s typical attention to detail. Here are two images for the Biscuits Madère and their general product, the latter featuring picturesque scenes of rural and urban Italy. (2)
