Champagne !

Nice rugby action... full of movement and colours... heading an early 1900 French menu...

This kind of printed papers was provided by advertisers to have restaurant owners promote their brands... French champagne Moët & Chandon here...

I am wondering whether this menu was aimed for French or English market... why an English policeman watching the game ? is it just "anglophilia" or did this illustration mean to be "local" ?

Here is the full page (hi res pic here)

And in case you can't read the tag on the bottle... Santé !
