One of our most lasting memories from European travels was the special care given to food, and lingering over a meal. The French phrase, “A table!” [dinner ‘s ready], is like a fanfare for an exciting show and discovery.
There are many instances of these phenomena in our collection of vintage graphic art. They range from disclosing the pure delight of the fruits of the land to the vast possibilities of enjoying a meal.
Our first example spans riches of the countryside and presentation of a rustic meal. The genius of producing amazing olive oil and its endowment to so many menus is characteristic of simple and brilliant fare from the land.

Soaring hopes for creature comforts being satisfied in the old-fashioned way, which, from the perspective of the 21st century, seems nearly incredible.
