DTB had great taste in all of the artwork they used to support the restaurants. Menus, flyers, matchbooks, swizzlesticks, postcards, mugs, etc. are often the best of the era. That's why so many still exist - nobody could bring themselves to throw them away. Don't get me wrong Swanky, if I found these at a garage sale I'd lunge for them. They just aren't up to his usual high standards in my opinion.
