Art Nouveau Bicycle Mucha Art Invitation
Alphonse Mucha's Cycles Perfecta Art Nouveau Illustration -
The Cycles Perfecta poster by famous Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha is certainly a striking image -- a gorgeous woman with flowing har, in reds and blues, lying atop a bicycle handlebars. This is the perfect image for someone into cycling! The beautiful woman's tentacle-like hair is the of the Art Nouveau movement, around the turn of the last century. Cycles Perfecta is highly graphic and finely detailed, in flowing fields of reds, greens, and bronze. This poster was originally published in 1902 -- at the height of the art nouveau period.
About Cycles Perfecta by Alphonse Mucha
In the 1890s and 1900s, posters like Cycles Perfecta were quite common in the centre of the French culture, especially in Paris. Parisian posters at the time were done in lithography, which produced an excellent quality of printing. Talented artists like Alphonse Mucha were very much into the poster scene at the time, and there were many opportunities for artists to make a living doing posters, magazine covers, and other commercial art.
Aphonse Mucha had a distinctive style, and produced many Art Nouveau posters and graphics in his day. He was a Czech painter and decorative artist, and was well known for his unusual style that graced the pages of magazines and was placed on postcards and other designs. He influenced many modern works -- including the Japanese Manga series Sailor Moon, Marvel Comics borrowed Mucha's style for several comic book covers, and his influence was obvious on 1960s psychedelic posters.

I customised and ordered 30 of these cards for my Mum, to be used as guest place cards on the birthday table at our local restaurant venue.
The design caught my eye while I was perusing all the samples, and thought it was a great novel idea for my steam train enthusiast Dad.
I chose the larger postcard sized one, as the font would be large for older eyes, and customised it keeping the Rail Ticket theme on the front, with venue address/date/time of party, and on the back I added another steam train and various 80 speed limit/rail signages. The trick is not to overdo it or it looks too busy. I also added at one end of the front side, a word of thanks from the birthday boy.
Champagne Shimmer was chosen for the finish and it suited the card so well, as it gave an glimmer of elegance and richness, loved it.
During the party, I had guests come up to me and say how much they liked this quirky card.
My Mum was ecstatic (she is hard to please at the best of times) and my Dad liked them very much also.
Upon leaving the party venue, I noticed that not one single card was left behind at our guest table.....so to me it spoke volumes, that the guests appreciated the cards enough to want to take them home as mementos.
I couldn't have wished for a better place card for Dad's 80th birthday party. Thanks Zazzle! Very happy with the finished product. Design turned out well, front and back.
I kept with original background and border colouring, which went extremely well with my choice of Champagne Shimmer for the finish. I kept to minimal colour pictures added on the back, they printed up very well. All crisp and clean. The cards looked a million dollars!

It was better than I could’ve ever imagined and so easy to create! Why spend hundreds of dollars to get a invitation company to produce something you can do yourself! Better than I could’ve ever imagined!
