FLORENCE LUNDBORG THE LARK NOVEMBER. November, 1896.
24 1/2x15 1/2 inches.
Condition A-: minor wrinkles and creases in margins and images.
The Lark was published from May 1895 to April 1897. It was the brainchild and vehicle of the avant-garde San Francisco aesthetes Les Jeunes, spearheaded, edited and primarily written by the humorist and artist Gelett Burgess with assistance from others including Ernest Peixotto, Porter Garnett and Maynard Dixon. A whimsical and humorous magazine, Morace points out that "Opposing conventionality in any form, the 'Lark' prized three qualities above all others: sincerity, spontaneity, and gaiety." The Lark gave birth to one of the world's most famous small poems in 1896 when Burgess included the now infamous doggerel, "I never saw a purple cow/ I never hope to see one/ But I can tell you anyhow / I'd rather see than be one." Kiehl 123, not in DFP I.
