Chicago: S.D. Childs & Co, 1888. Printed menu, 16mo (5½" X 6"), 4pp. Gilt lettering and blind-embossing to front wrapper (only). Very good. Mild age toning and touch of rubbing. Ornate holiday menu for the luxurious Lorimier House of Dubuque, Iowa, printed on buff stock, with inner recto (page 3) the many-coursed meal that included, among other things, green turtle, black bear steak, quail on toast and English fruit pudding with foamed sauce. Front wrapper features a variety of elaborate gilt typefaces and blind-embossed likeness of this five-story hotel. Leaves 2 and 4 are blank. Built in 1857, the Lorimier House was for many years the largest hotel in the city; in 1917 it was destroyed by fire. Very scarce.
