NOTES ON THE BIRTH OF THE LARK

Boston Herald.—“The pictures and rhymes in The Lark rank with the most remarkable things done for children since the days of Mother Goose.”

Boston Budget.—“The Lark is a reaction against the decadent spirit. It is blithe, happy, full of the joy of life and the Greek within us—a herald of the dawn of the new century.”

Boston Commonwealth.—“Everything in The Lark is clever—some, we may be permitted to add, cleverer than the rest.”

New York Critic.—“The faddists have produced some extraordinary things in the way of literature, but nothing more freakish has made its appearance in the last half-century than The Lark.”

New York Tribune.—“It is perhaps one-fourth a monthly periodical and three-fourths an escapade. The Lark ought really to be called ‘The Goose.’”

New York Herald.—“The current number of The Lark is, if possible, more curious, more quaint, more preposterously humorous, and more original than its predecessors. It is entirely unlike any other publication.”

Richmond Times.—“We do not understand upon what the editor of The Lark bases anticipation of interest and consequent demand.”

Philadelphia Times.—“The young men who publish The Lark have ideas of their own. The Lark is smart and funny in a way quite its own, and it is also capable of serious flights and of musical notes clear enough to be heard across the continent.”

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.—“The worst thing about it being that it is all too brief.”

Jersey City Chronicle.—“Every line in it is well worth perusal.”

St. Paul Globe.—“The Lark partakes of the prevalent temper of life on the Pacific Coast, where the don’t-care mood of the West takes an especially sunny and cheerful turn, and life looks a bigger joke than elsewhere in the Union.”

St. Louis Mirror.—“The Lark continues to be odd and ridiculous. Its humor is quite unlike any other humor ever seen in this country. There are good men with good pens working on The Lark.”

Kansas City Star.—“The Lark seems to have attained a distinction hitherto considered impossible in the unconventional. It seems really original. It succeeds in holding in captivity the unexpected.”

Los Angeles: The Land of Sunshine.—“It is unlike anything nearer to hand than ‘Alice in Wonderland.’”

Lark Posters.—The full set of Eight Posters for The Lark will be sent post-paid for $2.00. The Lark Posters are printed from wooden blocks, all but the first two having been cut by the artist.
