You have been notified on your talk page on Commons, with {{subst:idw|Image:Alfred Wegener.jpg}}. We still have no information on when, and where the photo was first published. Teofilo (talk) 10:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wegener died in a Greenland blizzard in 1930. If the photo had not been published before then, it must have been published in 1930 or 1931, when his body was found. Brockhaus uses this photo, but that encyclopedia just has at the end of its last volume a long list of image suppliers (without any clue of what images were supplied!). /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. According to [1], the author is anonymous, and it seems reasonable to assume that it was published before or shortly after the subject's death. –Tryphon 12:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
