Mutter und Tochter - Jugendstil Feiertagskarte

This is a detail of the cover art for the 1896 No. 40 issues of the Jugend Magazine, the famous German weekly publications century that launched the German Art Neue movement known as "Jugendstil," which means "youth style". The magazine was started in 1896 by journalist George Hirth, one of the most einflussential thinkers in München at the turn of the 19th century. It was widely popular and featured the key artists of the Art Nouvelle 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 kann sich vorstellen, originally looked.
