This menu, created by the French artist Henri Boutet (1851-1919), commemorates the publication of the book "Henri Boutet, graveur et pastelliste" by Leon Maillard. The menu design, a simple yet evocative sketch, depicts a reclining figure with outstretched arms, surrounded by several hands reaching towards the figure. This suggestive composition likely alludes to the book's celebration of Boutet's artistic talents, which are being acknowledged and praised by the surrounding hands. The inscription at the top, likely written by Boutet himself, lists details of the dinner held in honor of the publication. The inscription also includes an invitation to the dinner, and a date - 36 Juin 1894. This menu serves as a fascinating glimpse into the social and artistic world of late 19th-century France, offering a unique perspective on the interaction between art and society.
