Palmer House Menu

Palmer House Menu | Print | Wisconsin Historical Society
Foldout menu with a central menu listing, with a banner at the top with hunting rifles, a horn, and fishing poles; and surrounding vignettes of hunters aiming at game, swimming fishes, waiters holding trays of food, and diners sitting at tables: a man poised with carving tools before a platter of poultry and a woman holding a knife and fork. Scenes on the foldout flaps include ducks, rabbits, and fishes in their natural habitats; vessels of spirits and a circular portrait of fruits; and a circular three-quarter view of the hotel.
