Very Good/A rhapsody written for the appointment of one Lodovico Bonardi to head the monastery attached to the Chiesa della Santissima Trinità in Monte Oliveto in central Verona.

Inconsequential to be sure but interesting and bound in extraordinarily lovely wraps. Octavo 17 cm; 16 pages. In woodblock-printed floral-patterned wraps in red white and green coloring hand-finished. Dalla tipografia Michelini paperback books

1860395Delmonico Lorenzo. <i>Ball in Honor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. New York October 12 1860. </i>New York: Delmonico's printed by Spear 1860. A menu printed on silk for a banquet given in honor of Albert Edward Prince of Wales later to be crowned King Edward VII called 'the event of the age' by the <i>Commercial Advertiser</i>. Held at New York's Academy of Music this ball required Lorenzo Delmonico to display all his culinary talents. Lorenzo Delmonico did not disappoint. "With pink and white drapery the rooms of the medical college had been transformed into exotic tents. On the buffet tables the magnificently presented dishes with their elegant-sounding French names were presented by Lorenzo Delmonico the owner of Manhattan's best restaurant." Printed on beige-colored silk with brown type this very fragile surviving menu measures 17 cm x 11 cm having been trimmed slightly from its original size. There are a few places on the upper left side where the silk has broken and there is slight loss of fabric but no loss of text. See: Ian Radforth <i>Royal Spectacle.

To raise funds they "have adopted the following method.to give a course of Scientific lectures to be delivered in the house in the western margin of the city.called Christian Hill."
