18491922

1849–1922 is a date range commonly used in biographical and historical contexts to denote the life span of an individual born in 1849 and who died in 1922. In encyclopedias, archives, and library catalogs, the notation follows a person’s name and provides a compact temporal anchor for their period of activity.

The same numerals may also be encountered as a shorthand for a historical interval, indicating events and developments from 1849 through 1922. When used in this way, it is important to supply context to avoid ambiguity, since many different people and topics span these years.

In biography, the years help situate a person within the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period marked by rapid industrialization, social change, and geopolitical upheavals. The era saw innovations in science and culture, the growth of modern nation-states, and the aftermath of World War I shaping the subsequent decades.

Limitations: Without a named individual or topic, the range 1849–1922 is ambiguous. Proper identification requires additional information such as a name, occupation, or location.
