Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: April 22, 1878 (Integrated Authority File; SNAC; BnF authorities) or January 2, 1878 (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.
