The top of this menu cover is a painting of Victoria’s Empress Hotel, which was no doubt the destination of at least a few of the travelers on the Imperial, the train on which this dinner menu was used. Of course, they would also have to take a princess liner from Vancouver to Victoria. The background of the menu cover shows a three-funneled white princess steamship from Malahat Drive, a scenic drive on Vancouver Island that is featured on other CP menus.

The menu is undated but the lamb chops were priced 45 cents for one and 85 cents for two, which puts it in the 1928-1931 range, or possibly 1932 since we don’t know exactly when the prices went down to 40¢/80¢. The Imperial operated until June 25, 1933, when it was renamed the Dominion, so the menu can’t be later than that.
