Footnote
Cinos produced five Mucha postcards, with four of them featuring Sarah Bernhardt, and the fifth being for Waverley Cycles. This present lot therefore comprises a complete set of the Sarah Bernhardt designs by Mucha. Other Cinos postcards featured other artist's work and it is believed that the range illustrated a total of 36 different works.
