South America.- Dario (Ruben) Autograph manuscript poem, beginning "Concrecion de un jardin de amores", 4 stanzas, signed at foot and dated Buenos Aires, October, 1912, in an album including other signed autogrpah manuscript poems by Osvaldo Saavedra (October 1912); Antonio Lamberti (October 1912); Carolina Freyre de Jaimes (July 1913); Ricardo Jaimes Freyre (n.d.); Emilio Berisso (n.d.); Luis Gonzaga Urbina (July 1917); Leopoldo Diaz (1931) plus 2 others unidentified and the signature only of Leopoldo Lugones, together in an album pf red/brown calf, gilt, with gilt metal decorative corner-pieces, one now detached and loosely inserted, g.e., upper joint split, oblong 4to
⁂ Important album of South American modernist poetry. The album would appear to have belonged to the Julia Beatriz Berisso with Lamberti's poem titled "A Luis Berisso" (her father and a benefactor of Ruben Dario) and those by Carolina Freyre de Jaimes and Emilio Berisso dedicated "A Julia Beatriz [Berisso]. The name Berisso is also mentioned in the Saavedra poem. Most compelling however is the fact that a manuscript poem by Dario entitled "Babyhood, A Julia Beatriz Berisso" is located in the Bibliotheca Nacional de Chile, where the same 4 stanzas are written out and continue with a further 2 stanzas, though this is, according to a marginal note, not written in Dario's hand, and certainly the writing is very different from that in this album.
Ruben Dario (1867-1916), Nicaraguan poet who founded the Spanish-language modernist movement.
Osvaldo Saavedra (1850-1926), Argentine writer.
Antonio Lamberti (1845-1926), Uruguayan/Argentine modernist poet.
Leopoldo Lugones (1874-1938), Argentine poet and essayist.
