Complimentary to the Commercial Clubs of Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis... Menu... June 27th, 1885

Boston: Parker House, 1885. Menu on silk (31 x 15 cm.), printed recto only, and with hand painted floral ornament. In thick blank card stock, bound with thick pale blue and white silk cord. A banquet menu presented to members of visiting Commercial Clubs of several Midwestern cities. Highlights of the menu include Penobscot Salmon a la Hollandaise, Philadelphia Squab, and a Pistachio Cream Meringue. The unprinted cardstock "boards" are separated neatly at the hinge, but are intended to fold in half, and thus have left a neat horizontal crease across the center of the menu. Some lighter creases are present as well and there is light soiling. Still, very good plus.
