Wine List : The Dorchester : Park Lane : London W.1 : [1949] : printed at the Curwen Press : still Rhine and Moselle wines
A very fine sixteen page wine list, in covers, printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow for the Dorchester Hotel on London's Park Lane in 1949.
The Dorchester has long been regarded as one of London's premier hotels. It opened in 1931 and quickly became popular with a very high class clientele; during the War it was regarded as one of the capital's 'safest' buildings due to it construction. The Wine List is beautifully typeset and decorated in a design associated with Curwen.
This page shows some of the German Rhine and Moselle wines; it is interesting to see 'wartime' vintages back on the British market.
