Everybody seems to like Mucha, - me too! - so here's more. It's an ad for an 1899 production of Hamlet.

The featured actress was Sarah Bernhardt, from France, who I gather was fairly famous in the late 1800s and early 1900s. While primarily a stage actress, she also appeared in very early films, as early as 1895.

Bernhardt was also a talented sculptor. This is one of her works, "Après la Tempête" (After the Storm).
