For this week’s Tuesday Huesday post, we thought we’d choose an image from our own archive. It’s a detail from a 1960s vintage BOAC drinks menu for a flight to or from Japan. We love the bold graphics and overlaid colours.
You can see more images of the menu in a post we did a couple of years ago about our collection of vintage menus.
We’ve mentioned our ever-expanding collection of vintage cookery books in previous blog posts.
An offshoot of this collection consists of a number vintage menus.
It’s interesting to peruse the dishes on offer… in fact, it’s made us feel quite hungry writing this post.
However, it’s the period graphics, fonts & illustrations that we really look out for.
Some of the artwork is stunning – and the menus themselves are very frameable.
We have menus from restaurants, bars, airlines and cruise ships.
Due to their ephemeral nature, interesting examples are often quite hard to get hold of.
…but we enjoy the hunt!
