Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: February 28, 1820 (Tenniel, Sir John; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Find a Grave; Integrated Authority File; Lambiek Comiclopedia; Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; The Fine Art Archive; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or February 27, 1820 (RKDartists).
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.
