I thought the 1947 copyright on the back was for the Trader's "Ode to Rum" on the back cover. I agree that the cover graphic predates London's opening (thanks for the link to the auction) but I'm sure there is something to the London copyright story. I was told by a 34 year Trader Vic veteran, who during that time managed several of their highest profile locations, that when he had that menu reprinted for Palo Alto he had to get permission from the London Trader Vic's because they had the copyright. In fact I recall he said he even had to get them printed in London for the Palo Alto location!
