This is NOT Eugene Zimmerman the cartoonist. Could someone remove the photo from this page, from the cartoonist's Wikipedia entry, and the various occupation indexes?

A contributor to the Flickr Commons project has documented the identity for this portrait as a railroad tycoon who died in 1914. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6442022055. From those comments:

I'm wondering if this really is the cartoonist, who is pictured at animationresources.org/?p=3843

Another Eugene Zimmerman died in December 1914, a railroad tycoon. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr& GRid=21962006

NYT of December 21, 1914 reports on his sudden death query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0B1 4F83F5C13738...

The citizen., January 28, 1913, Page 8 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87078082/19 13-01-28/ed-... shows what looks like the same guy and it clearly is the railroad magnate whose daughter married the Duke of Manchester and not the cartoonist who is the subject of the piece.

And the New-York tribune., February 05, 1907, Page 14 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/19 07-02-05/ed-... shows this guy with his daughter (the Duchess of Manchester) and grandchildren.

Thank you.
