Cartes Pour Fêtes Annuelles Mother and Daughter - Art Nouveau

This is a detail of the cover art for the 1896 No. 40 issue of Jugend Magazine, the famous German weekly publication century that launched the German Art Nouveau movement known as "Jugendstil," which means "youth style." The magazine was started in 1896 by journalist George Hirth, one of the most influential thinkers in Munich at the turn of the 19th century. It was widely popular and featured the key artists of the Art Nouveau era. This beautiful decorative image shows a mother and her daughter. The artist is J.R. Witzel. This has been restored by us. It has been retouched where faded, and colors have been enhanced to the way we imagine it originally looked.
