Wrong years

[edit]

Neither the 1840 in the filename nor the 1854 in the description appears to be correct. We clearly see someone in his twenties, in the article the age of 25 is assumed, which would correspond to a photograph date of 1845. A quick recherche in the WWW yielded the same confusion, but there is a painting from 1849 that shows Engels in almost the same shape and youth as in this photograph. I recommend a change in the description which may well relate to the picture shown here: http://www.gettyimages.de/pictures/engels-friedrich-politician-socialist-germany-28-11-1820-news-photo-548803117 (the assumed age in the picture description of about 50 does not seem to fit either). -- Kku 15:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
