The Red Lobster and the Red Flag


I've always loved this menu for the Lobster Oyster and Chop House. It reminds me of the lobster image on this Soviet children's book featured on a wonderful McGill University library project. The menu, with its reds and pinks and quirky illustration, is a bit more playful than the children's book, with its ominous looking crustaceans and block lettering. But capturing the lobster from above, claws open, climbing up the page, grabs my attention on both.




The inside of the Lobster Oyster and Chop House is equally fantastic:
