Vintage 1967 La Hacienda De Los Morales Mexico Restaurant Menu Tassel Cord
Previously owned original La Hacienda de los Morales restaurant menu showing moderate age-related handling and storage wear. Cream card stock front cover displays overall toning, scattered small spots, a couple of horizontal handling creases and a faint stain along the left margin, and a pronounced soft bend with associated creasing at the lower right corner, while the black illustration, ornamental border, and red MENU title remain strong and legible. Lower spine edge features a red braided cord binding with frayed tassel ends but intact attachment, and the interior pages are present with age toning yet securely bound, offered as a single multi-page cord-tied menu without an envelope or additional inserts.
Original vintage printed restaurant menu produced in Mexico for La Hacienda de los Morales, dated with the Roman numerals MCMLXVII (1967) on the front cover.
The large cream card stock front panel is headed by the word MENU in red serif lettering beneath an ornate oval cartouche containing a script letter M flanked by putti and framed by dense scrolling floral ornament.
Centered below is a finely detailed black line illustration of the La Hacienda de los Morales courtyard with figures in traditional dress beneath arcaded walkways and trees, all enclosed within an elaborate decorative border of cherubs, foliage, and scrollwork that incorporates the restaurant name LA HACIENDA DE LOS MORALES and the Roman numeral date MCMLXVII along the lower edge.
A bright red braided cord binding runs along the fold with a loose tassel at the lower end securing the interior menu leaves, making this an evocative piece of Mexican restaurant and hospitality history suitable for framing, display, or addition to collections of vintage menus and culinary ephemera.
