What you’re looking at
This is a title page from a 1912 Oxford University Press edition. Despite your framing, this is not a Victorian penny dreadful but rather a scholarly classical translation. The page announces "The Medea of Euripides," translated into English rhyming verse with explanatory notes by Gilbert Murray, identified as a former professor of Greek at the University of Glasgow and Fellow of New College, Oxford. The publisher information indicates the American branch in New York. The visible handwritten marks appear to be library cataloging notations.
