Inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s celebrated 1896 lithograph Zodiac, this book clutch celebrates one of the defining works of Art Nouveau. Originally created as a calendar for the Parisian printer F. Champenois, the design was soon acquired by Léon Deschamps, editor of the influential French arts journal La Plume, and issued as the magazine’s calendar for 1897. Its history links the piece directly to fin-de-siècle Paris and to the publication that helped expand Mucha’s international reputation. Created for collectors and admirers of Art Nouveau, astrology, vintage illustration, and historic print culture, it offers a distinctive connection to Mucha’s extraordinary artistic legacy.
