Description

AN EXTRAORDINARILY RARE EXAMPLE OF PRINTING ON VELLUM. The menu of the International Parchment Convention Dinner held at Claridge's on the evening of May 19th, 1955. 4 leaves printed on one side only. Quite a luxurious meal, as one would expect at Claridge's, featuring Beluga caviar, crevettes de Morécambe, expensive wines, etc. This copy printed for Mr F. Lund (name neatly calligraphed on cover). Printed thoughout in blue and black. Image of the Tower of London on the cover. 4to. Tasseled string tie. FINE AND BRIGHT, WITH NO DEFECTS. Menus printed on vellum or parchment are of the greatest rarity.
