(Life time: The artist, and thus his date of death. This drawing was drawn somewhere between 1857-1860, as it shows Andreas August von Kohl, who was the leader of the Herfylking from 1857-1860. This means this image is circa 170 years old)

(Reusing this file)

The image was created and published circa 170 years ago, the author's date of death is unknown, but assuming they were 18 in 1860, they would've been 84 in 1926. Since it is impossible to verify whether or not the author was still alive by then, and it's fair to assume that they were probably dead by then since they probably were older than 18 when they drew this image and it was very rare to live that long back then
