The painting that covers the front of this menu is based on a photograph taken of the pounding of Canadian Pacific’s last spike in British Columbia. The hammer was wielded by Donald Smith, one of the chief financiers of the railroad. Also in the painting are, from the far left, Major A.B. Rogers, the surveyor who located the railroad through the Selkirk and Rocky Mountains; Michael J. Haney, the contractor who built the British Columbia part of the line and who went on to build the White Pass & Yukon Railroad; CP Vice-President (soon to be president) William Cornelius Van Horne; and Chief Engineer Sanford Fleming and his distinguished beard.

We’ve seen this painting by Nina Crumrine before on a 1947 dinner menu that identified the subject as a “Canadian Indian.” Today’s menus more narrowly define the subject as a “Stoney Indian.” The Nakoda tribe is closely related to the Assiniboine and more distantly related to the Sioux tribes; white people called the Nakoda’s “stoney Indians” because of their cooking technique of heating rocks in a fire and dropping them into bowls of broth.

Both of today’s menus are from 1944 and have straight lines bordering the portraits. But, unlike the other menus we’ve recently seen with straight lines, the portrait title is given in a script typeface rather than Bodoni type. So far I haven’t found any menus with Bodoni type but an Art Nouveauish border. Continue reading →

Although the three menus featured today all have the Empress Hotel on the cover, they were all used on Canadian Pacific dining cars, not in the hotel. And once again we have the menu in two different styles, one with script type and Art Nouveauish borders and one with Bodoni type and straight lines as borders.

First up is a 1941 lunch menu with full lunches for 75¢, 85¢, and $1.00 (multiply by 12 to approximate today’s U.S. dollars). Marked for the Dominion, the table d’hôte menu is on a separate sheet glued over the beverage side fo the menu; the glue is at the top so it can be lifted to reveal the beverages. To minimize harm to the menus, and because we’ve seen the beverage menu many times before, I didn’t try to scan underneath the sheet. Continue reading →

Here are two menus whose photos we’ve seen before. As with the Indian Matron menus shown here a couple of days ago, these two are slightly different: the first is framed by Art Nouveauish lines and the words “Royal York” are in script while the second has straight lines and “Royal York” is in Bodoni.

The first menu is dated 1941 and, like one of the Matron menus, is a breakfast menu used on the Dominion. It has a flyer glued in for the table d’hôte meals. Continue reading →

Today’s menu has the same photo on the cover as menus shown here a couple of days ago, but instead of merely advertising the Chateau Lake Louise, this menu was actually used at the chateau. Specifically, it was used for an American Express Banner Tour on August 15, 1940.

The unpriced menu offers tour members a choice of boiled turkey with noodles or cold beef with vegetable salad, which is not much of a choice. Either one came with melon, tomato soup, vegetables, bread, dessert, and beverage. The inside of the menu is decorated with drawings of pretty yellow flowers no doubt meant to evoke the flowers in the cover photo.
