We’ve seen this menu cover before from the Chung collection. Today’s menu is from my own collection. The Chung menu was dated 1930 and this one is dated 1928. Both are dinner menus, so they allow us to see how menus changed in those two years.

The trim around the interior menu pages is printed in a light blue-green on the 1928 menu and a golden brown on the 1930 menu.
