This is a gorgeous menu cover created for the Parisian restaurant D’Agorno by celebrated French artist Édouard Debat-Ponsan (25 April 1847 – 29 January 1913). Debat Ponson was a French academic painter noted for his allegorical works, scenes of peasant life and Orientalist works.

190 Rue Jean Jaures in the 19^th arrondissement in northeastern Paris still has the Hotel Agorno at that address and is next to one of the oldest steak houses in the city – Au Boeuf Couronné.

The surrounding la Villette (translation: a world apart) area was famous for its Marché de la Villette, a wholesale meat market with apron-clad meat dealers plying their trade. The slaughterhouses were closed in 1974 and there is now a cultural center on the site.
