1900CAT0004561900. Some restaurant menus but most for occasions weddings first communions royal dinners and various other festivities as well as countless dinner parties some very professionally printed some handwritten in a variety of styles. The bulk of the material is from 1890-1920 and the early 1930s into the 1950s almost all in Europe though it trickles into the late 1990s. England Belgium Germany France and many from Luxembourg. It includes a number of menus from during the two world wars and a few referencing them a number of the menus appear to be from an RAF chef whose identification card is included in the collection. Like many collections of this sort while it was clearly collected first hand in part it's hard to tell which menus the collector gathered at the time and which were collected later or if perhaps the earlier group was passed down and added to. 146 pieces in all a remarkable collection that stretches from the height of 19th century French cuisine well into the 20th century - a tumultuous period in Europe to be sure but one where at least some people evidently continued to entertain.

39914The designs depict the characters Knowledge Angel and Confession with colored fabric swatches attached to each Executed on quality watercolor paper. Sheet size 510 x 380 mm.<br /> <br /> Some browning. "Everyman an English morality play of the 15th century probably a version of a Dutch play Elckerlyc. It achieves a beautiful simple solemnity in treating allegorically the theme of death and the fate of the human soul-of Everyman's soul as he tries to justify his time on earth. Though morality plays on the whole failed to achieve the vigorous realism of the Middle Ages' scriptural drama this short play about 900 lines is more than an allegorical sermon because vivid characterization gives it dramatic energy. It is generally regarded as the finest of the morality plays." Britannica Online revised and updated by J.E.
