Hello :

I recently bought a book at a flea market entitled " Golden Legend ".
It is by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and features a color litho of the writer.
It has a blue leather cover with somewhat abstract flower designs. The pages are gold edged.

It is an epic poem featuring Lucifer and Prince Henry as well as others. There is no date but it is published by Hurst & Co. , New York.

It appears to be Victorian in design and was perhaps part of a larger set entitled " Longfellows Poems " because the poem begins on the first page which is page number 435. Can anyone identify what this is ? Thanks.
