Menukaart voor de feestmaaltijd ter gelegenheid van de '35e Algemeene Vergadering der Nederlandsche Maatschappij ter Bevordering der Pharmacie' before 1886

This anonymous engraving from before 1886 is a menu card for the 35th General Meeting of the Dutch Society for the Promotion of Pharmacy. The card features a stylized design with cherubs, ribbons, and a coat of arms at the top, and a detailed illustration of the cafe-restaurant "W.J. Ponson" in Dordrecht, Netherlands, below. The text on the menu card lists the services offered by the establishment including a cafe, restaurant, carriage hire, and a remise (a stable for horses). This menu card provides a glimpse into the social and cultural events of 19th-century Dutch pharmacy and the advertising techniques used at the time.
