Notes:
Title from caption at top.
The broadside incorporates five large images, each with caption (from left to right): The funeral ceremony in St. Paul's -- The funeral car -- Interior of St. Paul's Cathedral -- The funeral procession -- The lying in state at Chelsea Hospital.
The wood engraving of the funeral car is signed "D. Lancelot," i.e. Dieudonné Auguste Lancelot. It's unclear whether Lancelot is responsible for all five images.
