Here, a poster by one of the grand masters of art nouveau, following in the immediate wake of Mucha's upswell of technique, Henri Privat-Livemont. This image was created in 1896, for publication in 1897. Very majestic.

I love the triangles and rectangles - looks like a subliminal sword in the stone motif. I will have a blog post up about the fin-de-siecle on Oct. 4 that mentions Pictorial Arts.
that's very nicely done but man, that figure is so close to the one in Mucha's "Gismonda" that it could almost be called a swipe!
