19106753San Francisco: Putney Haight Telegraph Press; Printed and Bound by the Hicks-Judd Company 1910. Octavo 24 x 16 cm. 31 67-307 pages. Advertisements. Illustration of the Hotel on page 3. Portrait of the author in chef's whites and smoking cap on page 6. ~ FIRST EDITION stated subscription issue. One of the more important and influential early California professional cookbooks marking San Francisco's emergence as a world culinary center. Divided between a menu section Part 1 with two hundred menus and "Extraordinary and Secret Compositions in Culinary Art" Part 2 with more than two thousand recipes. A dose of hyperbole can be assumed regarding the claim to secrecy as at least some of the recipes had appeared in the author's column in The Evening Post whose collaboration is acknowledged on page 18. A sampling: Austrian Soup Bread Berliner Pfannkuchen English Crumpets Velvet Soup Cream of Chicory Soup Green Walnut Confit Bar le Duc Crème au Kirsch Coup St. Jacques Chiffonade Salad Salad Eugenie Okra and Sweet Peppers mistakenly printed twice Tripe à la mode Caen Baron of Lamb Squab Michels Quail Forestiere Fondue Savarin Pineapple Omelette Bohemian Eggs String Beans with Raisins Viennese Carrots Raspberry Souffle Cream Puffs St. Francis. ~ The bibliographer Dan Strehl identified the Alsatian Victor Hirtzler 1874-1931 some time ago in One Hundred Books on California Food and Wine Los Angeles: The Book Collectors 1990 page 21. as "one of the earliest celebrity chefs." Among other means of attracting restaurant clientele "Hirtzler presented seasonal menus demonstrating the highly sophisticated hotel dining of the time" with menus heavily influenced by the haute cuisine of European royal courts. After a sidereal career that included posts at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and the royal Belém Palace in Lisbon he had arrived at the St. Francis on Union Square in 1904 and thus endured the catastrophes of 1906 and remained after the rebuilding until 1925 when he retired to Strasbourg. A fuller account is available in David Shields's The Culinarians Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2017 pages 526-529. ~ The didactic "models" presentation of L'Art culinaire is likely intended as a counter to Escoffier's Le guide culinaire a reference text that had recently appeared in an abridged English translation in 1907. Hirtzler's subscription edition of 1910 which includes a list of the patrons who underwrote its publication has become quite scarce. Stamped "Subscription Edition" on the front cover; includes the list of patrons that according to the edition note on page 9 was reserved for subscribers; all of these copies are missing two signatures which accounts for the pagination gap. ~ In publisher's tan cloth with black lettering. Light rubbing and extremity wear to covers. The front paste-down bears an ownership inscription in red pencil "Property of Marge deYoung Portland Ore." and the free front endpaper a rubber-stamped name and address of an Oregon paperback exchange. Good. OCLC locates thirteen copies of the subscription edition; Bitting page 230; Brown 95 undated; Glozer 127; Strehl 19; Cagle 362; not in Stoner.

19195838Chicago: Published by The Hotel Monthly Press John Willy Inc 1919. Large octavo 26 x 17.5 cm. iv 430 iv pages. Photographic portrait of the author in chef's whites and smoking cap frontispiece. Publisher's advertisements. Indexes. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A handsome reminting of selected material originally presented in the author's Hotel St. Francis Book of Recipes and Model Menus: L'Art culinaire of 1910 an important and influential professional cookbook that marked San Francisco's emergence as a world culinary center; includes too a sampling of menu files for corporate banquets and luncheons catered by the kitchen staff of St. Francis between 1915 and 1919 that is after the publication of L'Art culinaire. Composed as a series of menus ordered according to the calendar year at the head of each page followed beneath by recipes - some detailed some perfunctory - for selected items from the menus. The scope may be reasonably described as considerable. That the general index lists two hundred named recipes alone for preparing eggs conveys some idea of Hirtzler's manifestly irrepressible capacity for invention. ~ It is useful to remember that a century and more ago many of the compilers of local cookery books could claim intellectual ownership of what they published only by stretching the notion of authorship beyond all recognition. Maids and cooks were the relevant repositories of knowledge and disseminators of practice. And when the privileged class traveled - sometimes staying in one place for weeks months or seasons - hospitality service was for all intents and purposes an elaboration of home. Staff including those supervising the great hotel and resort dining rooms of the age were servants. Chefs may have been well regarded even fêted but today it is easy to forget that in yesterday's world the road to celebrity was paved by servitude. ~ But their cookbooks were the expression of their own authorial voices. In this they must be counted as unrepresentative of early cookbook publishing broadly however much their intricate arrangements garner attention. They may nonetheless be representative of place revelatory of both the preferences of a community and of the extensive apparatus built to satisfy it. ~ The bibliographer Dan Strehl identified the Alsatian Victor Hirtzler 1874-1931 some time ago in One Hundred Books on California Food & Wine Los Angeles: The Book Collectors 1990 page 21. as "one of the earliest celebrity chefs." Among other means of attracting restaurant clientele "Hirtzler presented seasonal menus demonstrating the highly sophisticated hotel dining of the time" with menus heavily influenced by the haute cuisine of European royal courts. After a sidereal career that included posts at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and the royal Belém Palace in Lisbon he had arrived at the St. Francis on Union Square in 1904 endured the catastrophes of 1906 and remained after the city's rebuilding until 1925 when he retired to Strasbourg. A fuller account is available in David Shields's The Culinarians Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2017 pages 526-529. Thus it would not be far off the mark to describe the Hotel Monthly Press edition published in Chicago as a sort of monument or Gesamtausgabe honoring the career and achievement of an admired artist. ~ Near fine in publisher's green boards lettered and bordered in gilt.

With only the foundation completed the site became known as "Villard's Ruins" and the bodies of two murder victims were found there before construction resumed. George B. Markle Jr. began a campaign to raise local money to complete the hotel. He generated enough interest and subscribers to his plan among them Henry W. Corbett Henry Failing Simeon Reed and William S. Ladd to get construction started again. Later investors included labor leader Ed Boyce. The Queen Anne Châteauesque hotel finally opened in 1890 and had eight floors and 326 bedrooms.It had cost well over a million dollars and eight years to complete." wiki The hotel closed in 1951 and all the furniture was sold at auction. unknown books
