"Menus reflect the aspirations and ideals of society. They are also an art form that aims to please. While most were intended for short-term use and never meant to be saved, some were finely-crafted souvenirs made by leading stationers. Even when kept as personal mementos, however, menus were frequently discarded by later generations for whom they had no special meaning. As with other types of ephemera, part of their appeal lies within the notion of their improbable survival." Henry Voigt
