Answer:
Quoting Raghuvansh “Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins had split up work on the DNA structure and had intense rivalry going. As a practical joke on Wilkins, Franklin produced a letter announcing the death of the DNA form that Wilkins was working on.”

Franklin and Gosling death notice for a helical structure for crystalline DNA

Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins had split up work on the DNA structure and had intense rivalry going. As a practical joke on Wilkins, Franklin produced a letter announcing the death of the DNA form that Wilkins was working on.

\’funeral card\’ produced by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952 to decline the Maurice H.F. Wilkins\’s and Crick-Watson\’s ideas of a DNA helix as being supported by either their own X-ray data or their analysis (e.g., RF\’s and RG\’s).

It’s a joke card about the death of A-DNA by Rosalind Franklin (along with her Student Gosling), the unacknowledged woman behind the discovery of Helical DNA.

Rosalind Franklin’s and Raymond Gosling’s mock funeral card rejecting the idea of the Watson-Crick’s and Wilkins’ DNA helix structure.

somthing to do with the Watson-Crick model of the double helix…
as dna was first thought to be single helix..
(guessing)

This is a reproduction of a ‘funeral card’ produced in jest by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling (see signatures in the image) in 1952 to decline the Maurice H.F. Wilkins’s and Crick-Watson’s ideas of a DNA helix as being supported by either their own X-ray data or their analysis (e.g., RF’s and RG’s). Apparently, when they wrote the card, unlike M.H.F.W and C-W, the two authors were unaware of the Chargaff’s rules.

“funeral card” by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling

James Watson and Francis Crick at Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory had been attempting to build a model of DNA based on what was already known, and on what current research, including that at King’s, suggested. They believed that DNA was helical, and in November 1951 built a model of a three-helix molecule with the phosphates on the inside. The biophysics staff at King’s, including Franklin, were invited to Cambridge to see it. Franklin immediately noted, correctly, that such a configuration would not hold together. In response, the director of the Cavendish, Lawrence Bragg, ordered Watson and Crick to cease work on DNA and leave it to King’s. They did so, going so far as to send their model parts down to the King’s staff, though Franklin had little use for them.
During 1952 Franklin took and analyzed ever-sharper photographs of the A form but still didn’t see a helix. Her mathematical analysis, the Patterson function, though consistent with a helix in some ways, seemed to show a structural repeat of a dimension that would make a helical folding of the molecule impossible. In July, she and Gosling posted a prank notice of the “death of DNA helix (crystalline).”
