English: A newspaper clipping depicting the death of New York Mayor William Havemeyer, originally appearing as "Sudden Death of the Hon. William F. Havemeyer in his Office," New York, NY, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, Dec. 1874 (credit: http://www.officemuseum.com/desks.htm). I believe the image to be in fair use as both a historically significant photo of a famous individual and shows the subject of this article and illustrates how the event depicted as historically significant to the general public.
