Would love to see the whole image.........
You may have reproduction. It seems on cardboard not paper?
what that under the mucha ? does it say 90 as in 1990 i would assume
You would be wrong to make that assumption.
The dating was incorporated into Mucha's original signature on some pieces, so this represents "1890".
I don't have an opinion on authenticity.

I have one of these as well, it is not in mint condition as someone prior to me burnt the edges and placed it on a board and covered it with lacquer. It is exactly as yours however, just not in mint condition. I am convinced however it is an original not a copy as I bought this many years ago before my children, who are adults now were born. It is paper not cardboard as I had another one of these by mucha that was destroyed by my children and the lacquer was cracked leaving the paper open beneath. If yours is paper as well I would be willing to bet its an original marquee. At least I am hoping. Good luck with your search as I am curious to know the value of this item.
I have the same one as well, I know mine is a modern reproduction. Great image though!
