Menu Design in Europe
"Gourmet paradise.Food and Graphic Travels in Europe
Jim Heimann Menu Design In Europe contains hundreds of European menus from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the Millennium, and based on extensive research on continental cuisine history and graphic styles, it is enough to satisfy gourmets and design enthusiasts' cravings.
French cuisine spread throughout Europe and beyond, spreading the joy of cooking, and in the 19th century, as restaurants and dining experiences increased, the need to more officially display available items emerged, resulting in a variety of colorful and simple print menus.
The 1891 menu at Le Grand Vefour in Paris is reminiscent of the bustling Bell Epic Bistro, while the 1932 menu at the Royal Palace Hotel in London gives the impression of being at a jazz-era lively night bar.It also features a variety of styles of menus ranging from masterpieces of Art Nouveau and Art Deco to graphics of the Democratic Republic of Germany, and offers rare menus such as Michelin restaurants in the era of famous chefs and German military menus in World War II.
As such, the menu provides a memorable dining experience beyond just marking the price of food, and you can't sit on the Latour Darmant, which opened in 1952, and taste the famous duck dish, Le Canton Darmant, but you can imagine what the menu of the night would have been like.Consisting of graphic design historian Steven Heller's essay and world-renowned dealer Mark Selvaggio's caption, Menu Design in Europe introduces a menu of key collectors and organizations, offering a spectacular visual feast and historical record over the past two centuries.
