Two More Art Nouveau Menus

Today’s first menu features a P2 mountain-type locomotive, the pride of the Great Northern in 1926, pulling the Oriental Limited by Mount Index in the Washington Cascades. While the 44-hour Chicago-Seattle streamlined Empire Builder would later pass this scene in the dark of night, the 1920s 70-hour Oriental Limited was scheduled to pass this point in mid-afternoon.

Of course, both of these menus also have the Art Nouveau-style background scenes found on yesterday’s menus. The P2 menu is unusual in that the right and left sides of both the front and back covers, instead of just the back, are mirror images of one another. The fact that the Heinze menu was issued in 1929 indicates that the Great Northern used this style of menu for several years.
