Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: July 18, 1865 (SNAC; BnF authorities; Proleksis Encyclopedia; Enciclopédia Itaú Cultural; Benezit Dictionary of Artists; AlKindi; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or June 18, 1865 (The Fine Art Archive).
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.
