The menu for the fifth Double Crown Club Dinner, which was chaired by Holbrook Jackson and held on 28 October 1925 at the Criterion Restaurant.

The designer was Stanley Morison, for whom 75 copies were printed by Walter Lewis at the University Press Cambridge. The engraving is identified as 'au burin' by JE Laboureur printed by A and M Vernant in Paris and the letterpress is noted as 'the first use of a reproduction of Fournier-le-jeune's 'St Augustin', the Property of S. Morison'.
