EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant menu from the Lord Mayor's Dinner at Mansion House on June 27, 1849, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the opulent world of Victorian London's social elite. The menu, featuring the crest of Sir James Duke MP, was likely used to guide the distinguished guests through the multi-course banquet that followed. The intricately designed menu, with its lacy edging and delicate typography, is a testament to the meticulous planning and attention to detail that went into such events during the early Victorian era. The menu begins with a selection of oysters and other appetizers, followed by a series of savory dishes such as roast beef, game, and poultry. The main course includes a succulent roast pheasant and a rich and hearty beef pudding. The dessert course features a variety of sweet delights, including strawberries and cream, peaches and custard, and a selection of cheeses. The meal concluded with coffee and liqueurs. The Lord Mayor's Dinner at Mansion House was a prestigious event, attended by the city's most influential figures. The grandeur of the occasion is reflected in the meticulously prepared menu, which would have been a cherished keepsake for Sir James Duke MP and his esteemed guests. The use of birch wood as a table decoration adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the event, further enhancing the overall atmosphere of grandeur and opulence.
