San Francisco: Wm. Doxey, 1896. "The Lark" was a literary, artistic, and humorous journal, comprising some 25 issues, that was published in San Francisco from 1895 to 1897. The editors were Bruce Porter (1865-1953) and Gelett Burgess (1866-1951), artists and critics who led a group calling themselves "Les Jeunes." This is a Very Good (Plus) to Near Fine copy of Issue #17; Bruce Porter is not listed as an editor in this issue, but as a contributor, along with three others. Quercus notes that by this time the price of "The Lark" had doubled to ten cents. This copy has a second paper jacket with adverts by the publisher. Fragile paper, with black and white illustrations; the wraps are stapled together. Most pages remain unopened; the cover is rather tattered at its edges. An interesting artifact of American literature. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
