The Monkey and the Dolphin Menu, 1956

 Item — Box: CFC Printed Materials Box 2
Identifier: CFC2021.0182.1.1
Abstract

These are not only menu jackets but menus themselves, with a fable text on the back cover and a fable image and title on the front cover. We used one of them – "The Coach and the Fly" – in the Joslyn exhibit because of its clever trompe-l'oeil use of a fly right on the menu itself. I find the images delightful. Lovely pastels work together effectively in these light-hearted pictures. To judge from the splashes on the "dinner and dance" menus, it must have been some party!

Dates: 1956
