Grand Hotel Queen's Birthday Menu Interior
Image
Interior of the bill of fare served at the Grand Hotel on the birthday of Queen Victoria, with four scenes, perhaps representing the seasons, amidst flowering branches: two people with paddles, perhaps swatting at insects; a woman with a fan resting on a bench outdoors with other people in the background; a person holding kindling on her head; and a woman dressed for winter holding an umbrella and walking with a dog at her side. The women are wearing Japanese clothing.
May 24, 1898
