Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the first hook, as more concise, - you get a bit lost in the ALT, "both of which" not a construction to my liking. The image is licensed, unusual and a perfect illustration. - You may want to check the flow in the article, trying to avoid a sequence of short sentences all starting with "he". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:19, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
