Signed The Bohemians NYC 1914 Dinner Menu Ignacy Jan Paderewski - $50K APR w/CoA
Here we have a very rare and historically significant item from early 20th century New York City—a signed menu from a prestigious dinner honoring Ignacy Jan Paderewski at The Ritz Carlton, hosted by The Bohemians (New York Musicians' Club) on May 2, 1914, just months before the outbreak of World War I. This unique piece bears the signatures of both Paderewski and his fellow musician Josef Hofmann, adding immense value and provenance to the item. Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860–1941) was a renowned Polish pianist, composer, and statesman who became a key figure in advocating for Polish independence. His political career culminated in 1919 when he served as the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Poland, where he notably signed the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I. Alongside him, Josef Casimir Hofmann (1876–1957) was a celebrated Polish-American pianist, composer, music educator, and inventor, widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of his time.
The Bohemians, founded in 1907, was an exclusive New York musicians' club dedicated to fostering the cause of music and camaraderie among its distinguished members. Over the years, it counted musical legends such as Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, and Leopold Godowsky among its ranks, with its founder being the celebrated pianist Rafael Joseffy. The menu itself is a beautiful artifact from this remarkable gathering, representing a fascinating convergence of two of the most prominent figures in the classical music world. The signatures of Paderewski and Hofmann, combined with the historical context, make this piece a treasure for any serious collector of classical music memorabilia or early 20th-century history. This item offers a captivating glimpse into the cultural landscape of pre-war New York and would make a perfect centerpiece for any discerning collection.
