A handsome list of wines printed in red and black, from the famed Bordeaux restaurant Le Chapon Fin. While the restaurant was established in 1825, it's fame evolved after Joseph Sicard arrived in 1900, and the restaurant became a destination for chic and wealthy tourists from around the world. Some of its famed patrons were Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Sarah Bernhardt, Alphonse Mucha, and King Edward VII. In 1933, Le Chaon Fin became on of the first restaurants to earn three Michelin stars. Period ad for the restaurant in French and English laid-in loose. Very good.
