JOB ads

Alphonse Mucha
1897 & 1913

Here are two Job posters Mucha made for the company.
  • Look at the differences and similarities between the two posters. Can you tell they were made at a different time? What gives it away?
  • What does this poster advertise? How can you tell? Do you think that the poster should've been more obvious about what it was selling? How could it do that?
  • What does the woman have to do with what is being advertised? 
  • Why do you think she's there? 
  • Can you think of similar ads of today that use a picture of a woman to sell their products?
