Description: Original antique color lithograph die cut figures , circa 1880. 1. H. R. H. Prince Albert Victor of Wales as Midshipman Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Albert Victor Christian Edward ; 1864 - 1892), was the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales ( later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra ) and grandson of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria. In 1877 Prince Albert and his brother Prince George were sent to the Royal Navy's training ship, HMS Britannia. In 1879 the royal boys were sent as naval cadets on a three-year world tour aboard HMS Bacchante. Albert Victor was rated midshipman on his sixteenth birthday. They toured the British Empire, visiting the Americas , the Falkland Islands , South Africa , Australia , Fiji , the Far East , Singapore , Ceylon , Aden , Egypt , the Holy Land and Greece. They acquired tattoos in Japan. By the time they returned to Britain, Albert Victor was eighteen. Through the years, Prince Albert Victor's intellect, sexuality and mental health have been the subject of speculation. Rumours in his time linked him with the Cleveland Street scandal ( which involved a homosexual brothel ), and some authors have argued that the prince was in fact the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper , however documents suggest that Albert Victor was not in London at the time of the murders . 2. Admiral H. R. H.
