A printed menu from Marine Society Of New York, 1895. From the golden age of French restaurant dining in New York and Paris — the era when haute cuisine and the printed card became inseparable.
From the 1880s through the 1920s, French restaurants set the standard for fine dining on both sides of the Atlantic. Delmonico’s, Café Martin, Restaurant Marguery, Mouquin, Sherry’s and Chambord in New York; the great cafés of Paris — these establishments printed elegant menus daily, in French, that today are some of the finest surviving examples of restaurant graphic design from the period.
