A well-preserved item with mild wear (slight creasing). Three printed sheets folded and stapled, measuring 5.75 X 6 inches. Six recto illustrations, including the front cover, with menus on the verso. The illustrations are progressive, depicting a bartender and a patron who is devoured by a creature from a potent drink while the bartender goes about his business apparently oblivious to what is unfolding before him.
