Empress of France Dinner Menu

This menu with a painting of the Empress of France on the cover was actually used on the Empress of France in June, 1956. Like the Empress of Canada, the Empress of France was originally a duchess, in this case the Duchess of Bedford, when first launched in 1928. At that time, the Canadian Pacific already had a ship called the Empress of France, which had been built in 1913 as the Alsatian and acquired and renamed by Canadian Pacific in 1919.

The 1913 vessel made its last voyage in 1931 and was scrapped in 1934, probably having been superseded by more modern oceanliners. After serving in troop service during World War II, Canadian Pacific refitted the 1928 duchess ships and renamed them in the empress series.

Since my goal is to collect dining car menus, I always have to wonder: was this steamship menu cover ever used on dining cars? Most of my examples of this menu style, which I call the White Band series because of the broad band of white above the photo, were used on steamships, though many cross-advertised the Canadian trains on their covers. But in another example of cross-advertising, CP used a White Band menu featuring the Empress of Britain on the cover of a Canadian menu. Thus, I suspect that Empress of France menus were sometimes used on the Canadian or other CP trains.
