Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: November 22, 1857 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; SNAC; Find a Grave; The Fine Art Archive Db; Internet Speculative Fiction Database) or May 19, 1857 (Library of Congress Name Authority File).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
