McCall's Book of French Cooking, Volume 16
This is a vintage cookbook titled 'McCall's Book of French Cooking,' designated as Volume 16 of a larger series. The cover features a salmon-pink or deep coral background with the 'McCall's' logo in a bold, black serif font. The central image is a high-gloss color photograph of a prepared pork roast resting on a bed of sliced potatoes in a ceramic oval baker, accompanied by glasses of red wine and a copper saucepan. This item is a softcover magazine-style cookbook, typically published in the 1970s. The bottom text lists culinary categories including hors d'oeuvre, soups, eggs, fish, shellfish, poultry, meats, vegetables, sauces, and desserts. Regarding condition, there is visible shelf wear along the right and top edges, with minor creasing and some white stress marks near the spine. The corners show slight blunting, which is typical for paper-based ephemera of this age. The printing uses mid-century offset lithography, resulting in a slightly warm tone characteristic of lifestyle publications from that period. There are no obvious signatures or personal markings visible on the front cover.
