19th Century Historical Menus


From the New York Public Library Digital Gallery. The Buttolph collection of special events (for example, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln birthdays anniversaries) menus from the years 1851 - 1908. It's a big collection. When I looked at those 19th century dates, I felt as if I was taking a historical trip to another life time.
