An original French Line (Compagnie Générale Transatlantique) luncheon menu from the legendary ocean liner SS Île de France, dated Saturday, February 11, 1956 during the "Carnival in Trinidad" Cruise.
The cover features the delightful illustration "Maman Les P'tits Bateaux" by celebrated French illustrator Jean A. Mercier, depicting an elegant Rococo-inspired harbor scene with sailing ships, maritime flags, nautical elements, and whimsical figures inspired by the beloved French children's song.
Inside is the bilingual French-English luncheon menu, offering a fascinating glimpse into the luxury dining experience aboard one of France's most famous transatlantic liners.
A wonderful collectible for lovers of ocean liner memorabilia, French travel ephemera, maritime history, vintage illustration, and mid-century graphic design.
