Picture has probably been manually edited[edit]
By the similarity of details it seems likely that this picture Marx3 is a section of Marx4. If we consider Marx4 as the original, than in Marx3 the contour has been made clearer, the beard and brows darker, but over all the expression has been changed from a patient, absent-minded face to an passionate awake face. So while I don't doubt that Marx could put on such a face, he probably originally did not during this photo-session.
Therefore until the interpedendance of Marx3 and Marx4 and the production of these pictures has been clarified, I suggest not to use this picture Marx3 as a authentic portrait in article spaces anylonger.

- Marx face only is no orginal. The only real photographies are in Moscow and Trier. The Trier original has the name of the photographer. The Moscow copy is a copy made in Fulda by Bertha Markheim for Louis Kugelmann in 1863. Photo taken by Richard Beard, London between 1857 and 1859, because he closed his studio in 1860. --Whoiswohme 29. January 2011
