What was the medium used for the b&w posters of Art Nouveau?

Most posters printed during that time were designs etched in reverse on metal plates and then printed by spreading ink across these plates and applying them on paper.

Is burlesque art deco or art nouveau?

I have to make a painting for art class demonstrating either the art deco style or art nouveau.It has to be a dance poster so i was thinking about a burlesque dancing theme.but im not sure if burlesque dancing was more towards the art deco period or art nouveau period.

Burlesque is broad enough to work with either one.

American burlesque often had some sort of cultural or historical theme to get it by the censors. That is if you call it belly dancing and dress the girl up in a harem costume, you could get away with it. I was thinking of Klimt's women, which seemed to blend to use that ancient look combined with a modern sensuality.

Looking for art nouveau like print?

I was in a coffee shop a while back looking at something that I could have sworn was by Mucha. Yet when I do searches I cant find prints of it anywhere.

Its of a woman's profile, and shes holding a cup in her hand thats OVERLY steamy. Almost looks like ropes of hair the way it's drawn.

There's a similar poster titled RAJAH but thats not it.

I've been to art.com and allposters.com and havent found it.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Try ebay. I found this listing when I did a search http://cgi.ebay.com/RAJAH-TEA-ART-NOUVEAU-WOMAN-VINTAGE-POSTER_W0QQitemZ230210311264QQihZ013QQcategoryZ28009QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
