Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: January 1, 1861 (Writers of St. Petersburg. XX century; BnF authorities) or in 1860 (Bibliography of the History of the Czech Lands; Open Library; catalogue.nli.ie; Trove) or December 20, 1860 (The Fine Art Archive Db) or January 1, 1861 (Writers of St. Petersburg. XX century).
