Two Posters, Two Styles

Mucha’s *Job* is dated 1897; Cassandre’s *Nord Express*, 1927. This is a 30-year comparison, not a rule for every work. ✨

My reading: *Job* lets ornament lead; *Nord Express* feels more geometric and machine-age. That’s a reading of these examples, not a movement-wide rule. 🔎

Craft clue: MoMA records *Nord Express* as a 1927 lithograph, 41 × 29¼ in. 🖨️

Read as poster design, each makes style do public-facing work: flowing ornament invites the eye; geometry can suggest speed and order. ✨

Takeaway: these examples suggest a move from flowing ornament toward geometric machine-age styling, not a clean break. Their display places and specific ad purposes aren’t documented here. ✅
