[Handel, George Frederic. (1685-1759)]. 1759 London Chronicle with Handel Obituary. The London Chronicle or Universal Evening Post. For April 14, 1759. Disbound, from a larger volume with traces of leather and string along spine. 4to, 8 pages, bit of rubbing in unrelated content.

Founded in 1757, the Chronicle appeared three times weekly and featured articles on a variety of subjects, including pages summarizing the most notable news at home and abroad, as well as coverage of artistic, literary and theatrical events in the capital. The highlight of the present issue is the notice among the front page news from London about the death Handel: Yesterday died George-Frederick Handel, Esq; the great musician.
