Dinner parties and celebrations were near constant events for Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s coterie of friends and fellow artists. Throughout the last decade of the 19th century, Lautrec designed menus for these alcohol-fueled affairs, frequently filling them with inside jokes and illustrations of his companions. This menu was created for a June 1893 party for the Société des Artistes Indépendants (Society of Independent Artists) and features a milliner and her hats, with Lautrec’s mark appearing on her hatbox.
