Good considering its age, binding and poor quality of the paper. Frank Gelett Burgess (January 30, 1866 - September 18, 1951) was an American artist, art critic, poet, author and humorist. An important figure in the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s, particularly through a humorous little magazine entitled The Lark he founded with a group of like-minded associates in 1895. *The double meaning of its name was intended. While it would sing at heaven's gate, it would do so as a merry adventure and have fun with the little-magazine movement.* The magazine soon attracted an eclectic group of contributors who hung out at the Montgomery Block building, who became known as *Les Jeunes* (English: the youth). These included Porter Garnett (who also took on editorial responsibilities), Carolyn Wells, Willis Polk, Yone Noguchi, and others. Local artists, including Ernest Peixotto, Florence Lundborg and Maynard Dixon, contributed illustrations and cover designs. -- Wikipedia
