I have had my eye on this small intaglio print for a while and tonight, with the Euro-Dollar exchange rate once again near parity, I decided to buy it. It comes from a seller in France and I assume was originally intended as a prototype menu for some elegant occasion, although it remains a mystery to me as to why that particular male figure has the temerity to expose his derriere on a menu, that is unless his derriere was actually on the menu. (I'm beginning to sound like that dumb Vice-President of the US, Kamala Harris) I can only guess that "bread buns" and "his buns" were not the only thing on the menu. Whimsical to say the least. Enjoy.
