Chalet on the Lake Menu
Image
One-page menu for Chalet on the Lake, with a colored pen-and-ink still life of a vase of flowers and greenery on a table set with bottles of wine, wine glasses, and a platter with pears, plums, and bunches of grapes, all framed by drapery held back by tasseled ties. The name of the restaurant, partially in flowing script, is featured in a scroll. The menu page includes a black and white photograph, framed in a decorative cut-out, of resort guests relaxing in lounge chairs by the lakeside.
circa 1960-1969
