This menu is in very good condition. Fresh and clear graphics on cover and reverse (see photos). The Camellia House was in business for about 37 years (ca. 1940 to 1977) inside the Drake Hotel which overlooks Chicago's Magnificent Mile. 

The graphics of the restaurant were created by American interior designer Dorothy Draper (1889-1969). "Draper honed her signature style at hotels, resorts, restaurants, and nightclubs across the country, transforming them into stylish, slightly surreal stage sets... in Chicago, she made over the Camellia House restaurant... Her signatures, or "Draperisms," included massive black-and-white checkerboard floors, elaborate plaster moldings, and stripes so wide they had to be painted by hand, while her trademark cabbage rose chintz, with its clusters of overblown blooms, sold by the mile. She hated milquetoast pastels and muddy neutrals..." Inside 1930s Designer Dorothy Draper's Riotously Colorful World - Curbed
