St John's College U.43
Album of menus compiled by L. Goodall, 1884-1900.
An album of 223 menus for dinners held at St John's College, at other Cambridge colleges, clubs and societies, and at other venues, between 1884 and 1900. The menus are mostly printed, although some are handwritten, and many bear arms, ribbons, and illustrations. Each page of the album typically carries four menus, but some have up to nine. The menus are not arranged in chronological order. The courses on each menu are mostly given in French, and only occasionally in English.
