Baker's Famous Chocolate Recipes, 1936

All those marchers and dancers in The Nutcracker Suite were amateurs, I tell you! Amateurs!!

Gaze at the left side of the image long enough, and the desserts appear to be floating an inch or so above the tabletop. I'd give anything to know if the photographer did that on purpose.

Front and back covers from a 66-page booklet published by General Foods Corporation, New York.
