Zustand: VG. Five individual menus, each on heavy card stock, each 12 x 18 inches folded in half once. Front panel on each menu is color illustration painted by C. Macouillard. VG plus. Clean and bright, almost no wear at all.

Printed single sided, 970 x 690 mm. a little stained and creased. The Fairsky operated on the migrant passenger route between Britain and Australia from 1958 to 1972, this is likely the first deck plan issued for the vessel [Ed 1 6/58].

An attractive collection, exhibiting the continuation of relatively comfortable commercial sea travel in the early years of the Second World War, before the Japanese government requisitioned large numbers of O.S.K. and N.Y.K. vessels for military use. The menus supplement a predominantly Western style of cuisine with occasional Japanese titbits. Passengers on the Brasil Maru were treated to musical performances while they dined. 10 items, octavo. Original colour or monochrome card covers, 7 with letterpress bifolium fixed with colour string, 3 with contents printed direct (1 of these formed from sheet folding into quarters). Light wear, especially to largest examples, foxing and a little soiling: a very good collection.

The edges are slightly warped, otherwise in very good condition.
