Menu Design in America: A Visual and Culinary History of Graphic Styles and Design, 1850-1985 - Hardcover
Synopsis
Until restaurants became commonplace in the late 1800s, printed menus for meals were rare commodities reserved for special occasions. As restaurants proliferated, the menu became more than just a culinary listing: it was an integral part of eating out, a clever marketing tool, and a popular keepsake.Menu Design is an omnibus showcasing the best examples of this graphic art. Illustrated in vibrant color, this compact volume not only gathers an extraordinary collection of paper ephemera but serves as a history of restaurants and dining out in America. Featuring both covers and interiors, the menus offer an epicurean tour and insight to more than a hundred years of dining out.
An introduction on the history of menu design by graphic design writer Steven Heller and extended captions by culinary historian John Mariani accompany each piece throughout the book. Various photographs of restaurants round out this compendium that will appeal to anyone who enjoys dining out and its graphic and gastronomic history.

In lebendigen Farben zeigt dieser kompakte Band nicht nur eine außergewöhnliche Sammlung an Papiergrafiken, sondern erzählt auch eine Geschichte der Restaurants und der Esskultur in Amerika. Vorder- und Innenseiten der Speisekarten bieten einen genussvollen Überblick über mehr als hundert Jahre des Essengehens.Eine Einleitung zur Geschichte des Speisekarten-Designs von Grafikdesign-Guru Steven Heller und ausführliche Bildunterschriften des Historikers John Mariani begleiten die Abbildungen jeder Speisekarte.
