About This Item
The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique's best known and largest ocean liner was launched by this French firm in 1916 and this "Aristocrat of the Ocean" crossed from Le Havre, France to New York with cruises elsewhere until 1939. Collection of five menus, each small 4to (8½" X 11", opening to 17" X 11"), with 1936 issue dates of 1 July, 16 July (two, with differing front covers) and 3 May (two, with differing front covers). Very good. Bits of minor wear only. Front covers are all pictorial, with inner left bearing the day's menu in French and inner right the same in English -- down the center appears the "Menu Suggestion." Those from July 1st and July 16th both note they are "Raymond-Whitcomb Cruise." July 1st cover depicts a woodblock engraving of a 3-masted ship labeled "Navire Du XVIe Siècle" (Ship of the 16th Century) and those from July 16th and May 3rd are color reproductions from the "Les Costumes Normands de jadis" French women's fashion series: "Jeune fille de St. Valéry en Caux," "Jeune fille de Cherbourg," "Fermière d'Harcourt, près Caën" and "Jeune fille des environs de Dieppe." A superb quintette from the most famous luxury ocean liner afloat in the 1930s.
