Druckvermerk vom Verleger signiert. "Sanchez Mejias was a famous bullfighter, writer and passionate lover of literature. He and Lorca were destined to become friends, and did so through a mutual friend, Encarncion Lopez Julvez, who was a famous dancer and singer and was also known as 'La Argentinita'. Sanchez Mejias was her manager, and it was to her that Lorca dedicated the poem. On August 11th, 1934 at the age of 43, Sanchez Mejias re-entered the bullring at the request of another bull fighter who was injured. At this time Lorca was in the town of Santander. This seems to come across in the narrative style of the Lament, that Lorca has shown up sometime after the tragic event to see Mejias lying dead. Lorca used the lyrical devices learnt in his earlier poems and combined them with the narrative style of the historical ballad. Overall, the poem uses the rhythm of a 'gypsy lament' which carries the emotional impact of the tragedy. - Die Lithographien und Prägedrucke in der Platte von Picasso signiert.
