1895 – 1897., San Francisco. The chief literary organ of the Bayside Bohemians of the last decade of the 19th century. Gelette Burgess was responsible for much of the text, along with illustrations and cover designs by Florence Lundborg, Gelett Burgess, Ernest Peixotto, Hervert Van Vlack, Newton Tharp, Reginald Rix, Willis Polk and Bruce Porter, and other contributions by Maynard Dixon, Yone Noguchi, Porter Garnett, et al. A number of Stevenson relics appear in the early issues. The first issue contains Burgess’ famous nonsense poem’The Purple Cow’, and it was fitting that when’The Lark’ ceased publication with issue 25 in 1897, the penultimate issue included Burgess’ lines,’Yes I wrote the Purple Cow, I’m sorry now I wrote it, but I can tell you anyhow, I’ll kill you if you quote it.
