Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: January 1, 1887 (BnF authorities; TracesOfWar; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Integrated Authority File; Find a Grave; SNAC; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Proleksis Encyclopedia; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Munzinger Personen) or January 1, 1877 (The Fine Art Archive Db).
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.
