Left: last photograph of Karl Marx, taken by E. Dutertre in Algiers, on 28 April 1882. Right: a photomontage-based upon Marx's own correspondence, where he said that the photo was taken just a short while before he went to the barber to have his hair cut and his beard shaved off, and shows how he may have looked after his visit to the barber.
I have a Marx-like beard. Now I wonder if I should never shave it off. Within a year after his trim - he died. And mustaches aren't my thing anyway.
