Searching wasn&#8217;t a waste of time, however, since I turned up a complete set of the prints by Art Nouveau designer Eug\u00e8ne Grasset (1845\u20141917) that depict the months of the year. Some of these have appeared here before but I&#8217;d not seen a complete set until now. Grasset was commissioned by the Parisian department store La Belle Jardini\u00e8re in 1894 to produced twelve artworks to be used as a calendar. The portfolio was published as <em>The Months<\/em> in 1896. The prints also serve as zodiac when you notice that each woman has an astrological symbol on her clothing.
