In recent times the Duke of Clarence and Avondale has been the center of rumors that he committed, or was responsible for, the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. However, these theories have been comprehensively dismissed by reputable historians, who note, among other factors, that the Prince was in Scotland at the time of several of the murders. Vintage sepia 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of the fifteen year old prince aboard the Britainia, signed in fountain pen, “Edward,” with a date and notation done in another hand. In fine condition, with some scattered light spotting and toning. R&R COA.
