Here’s another menu in the Union Pacific Moderne series with a cover that is carried over from the Art Nouveau series. The front cover photo is credited to Prentiss, referring to Arthur Prentiss (1865-1941), a Portland photographer who documented early highway construction in Oregon and other industrial activities. In 1921, UP apparently published a book of his photos titled Outings in the Pacific Northwest, but I haven’t found a copy.

I am always disappointed that few photos of Crater Lake show the grandeur of the entire lake, but until recently hardly anyone owned panoramic cameras or had lenses wide enough to take in the entire lake. Such a panoramic photo would have been perfect for UP’s post-war wraparound photo menus, but as far as I can determine none of them showed Crater Lake. The lake, after all, was more in Southern Pacific territory than the Union Pacific’s.

Like yesterday’s menu, this one is dated 1936 and is for lunch in a café car rather than a full diner. Inside is an a la carte menu on the left with a pasted-on, mimeographed table d’hôte menu. The right side is a beverage menu. I didn’t try to peel off the table d’hôte menu to see the rest of the a la carte menu underneath because it would have damaged the piece.
The entrées include “braised Kentuckey [sic] stake [sic]” for 85 cents and halibut for 90 cents. That’s about $16 to $17 in today’s money. The typos are a good argument for preprinting menus.
