Au Mouton de Panurge

Booklet of the "Rabelaisian menu" offered on "diemenche 26 de oiteuvre 1952" [Sunday, 26 October 1952] on the menu of the Parisian restaurant Au Mouton de Panurge, gastronomic headquarters of the Amis de Rabelais et de La Devinière, whose walls were decorated by Albert Dubout, who is also the author of the illustrations featured here. On the final page appear several facsimile signatures of distinguished regulars of the establishment. Our booklet is enhanced by a gift inscription from one of these signatories, Albert Schweitzer: "to Andrée [Eekman, his goddaughter, also the niece of his close friend Tata (Adèle Herrenschmidt)] and her dear husband [the painter and engraver Nicolas Eekman] / Albert Schweitzer," as well as four further autograph signatures by Michel de Bry, publisher of the booklet, by a certain "Devilly," and finally by two unidentified names.

Faint vertical fold to the centre of the booklet.
