New York PLAISANCE (Pleasures) features multiple illustrations of the Amsterdam Theatre but even more so of the famous MURRAY’S Roman Garden Restaurant. One of the first themed restaurants in the USA it’s extravagance is generously exhibited with multiple pages full of plates and colorful illustrations. The last few pages of the book are full of period advertisements which (in our opinion) add extra charm and value to this piece. ***Also included in this sale will be a rare unmarked Postcard featuring the Fountain at Murray’s Main Dining Room (see last photo).
