1897
by Black, Anita Ciprico
1897. San Francisco: H.S. Crocker Company, 1897.
8vo, 50 pp. Photographic frontispiece of Mission Dolores. Original flexible textured boards with gilt-stamped lettering. Some wear to boards, front black creased, tissue-guard foxed, contents clean; very good.
§ Signed by the author on the title. A uncommon work by a California poet. This appears to have been her only book. Around two dozen copies recorded on OCLC but oddly none at Stanford. Eight poems and four short prose works, the last being "Lupé: A Tale of Mission Dolores," a tragic and sentimental tale in which land disputes between nefarious "Americanos" and Spanish rancheros destroy the romantic hopes of a devout Spanish girl and her would-be lover from Boston. (Inventory #: 126290)
