Alfred Munnings 1932 Restaurant Dining Club London Menu Painting Postcard

ABIZRA220 This is a beautiful undated but modern published official postcard from Londons Royal Academy Of Arts for this historic poster painting of the Royal Academy Of Arts in London and their 1932 Dining Club Menu with sketch by William Lewellyn with artist details, dates, dimensions etc & Royal Academy Of Arts logo on reverse being the official souvenir from when exhibited unused and mint. 

This beautifully informal narrative composition employs loose, spirited brushwork and a wonderfully warm, atmospheric light to illustrate the convivial camaraderie of an exclusive post-war artistic gathering. The visual design highlights the legendary painter and former Academy President's lighter, spontaneous illustrative style, rendering a personalised dinner card complete with witty culinary references, hand-drawn vignettes, and loose typography that frames the evening's festivities. By shifting focus from his famous monumental equestrian landscapes to capture this intimate glimpse of elite institutional leisure and private humor, the scene functions as a rare, highly charming testament to mid-century social traditions, professional friendships, and the lighter side of academic art history.
