Victorian Menu

While trying to find out some Victorian typefaces, I came across this on the Typophile forums:


It demonstrates the use of a range of woodblock/Victorian-esque typefaces all working together on the menu card and identity for the restaurant. The display typefaces sit well in a contemporary environment while still shouting out to the viewer, lifting that section off of the menu. It contains many of the elements I have found to be part of the 'Victorian' look, decorative break lines, double-line boarder, the mentioned mix of sans-serif and serif typefaces and even the black and white 'pointing hand' at the bottom of the menu.
