About This Item
Los Angeles: Jake Zeitlin, 1930. First edition. 24x17cm, [24]pp. Stitched in plain card wrappers in patterned paper jacket with printed label on front. Internally clean and sound, jacket toned and lightly chipped. Very good.
First edition of this collection of lyric poetry from Sarah Bixby Smith (1871-1935) of the Bixby family of California pioneers. Smith is remembered for her memoir, Adobe Days, chronicling her childhood on a sheep ranch in Rancho San Justo, and her family's involvement in the development of Los Angeles. She was also a women's education advocate, president of the Friday Morning Club and vice president of the American Association of University Women.
Her earlier collections of California verse were printed by the Torch Press in Iowa. However, this collection was printed by Jake Zeitlin, Los Angeles bookseller, two years after opening his first shop on Hope Street. A scarce piece of Southern California printing. .
