Extremely Rare Maritime Menu Card / Wedding Invitation (1951) - Wedding of Jan Wortelboer & Marianne Brenninkmeijer (C&A Family)
An extremely rare and historically unique menu card from a festive dinner aboard the naval ship Her Majesty’s “Midduin,” dating from 1951.
This unique document was issued on the occasion of the marriage between Commander Jan Wortelboer (30) and Marianne Brenninkmeijer (22) on Tuesday, 22 May 1951.
