This is an original menu from the dinner which was held to celebrate Derby County’s promotion back to the top flight of English football following the 1911/12 season.
A lot of these types of items consist of several pages with guest lists and some kind of a forward from the chairman or another member of the club, but this one is just a simple card. Inside left you’ve got the menu, and inside right the toast list. The rear is blank.
Derby topped Division 2 that season ahead of Chelsea with a superior goal difference of +46 compared to the London club’s +30.
