Description

Prince Albert succumbed to typhoid fever at Windsor Castle on 14 December 1861, at the age of forty-two. This hastily assembled bulletin was the first to announce the news of Prince Albert’s death. The four signatories are the Prince’s physicians who attended the Prince in his final hours.
