18941973

18941973 is a numerical representation commonly used in biographical and historical writing to denote a person who was born in 1894 and died in 1973. In encyclopedia entries and data records, lifespans are often shown after a name, for example: Jane Smith (1894–1973). By themselves, the years do not identify a specific individual; they indicate a birth year and a death year that situate a person within a historical period.

The convention serves several practical purposes. It helps readers quickly place individuals on a timeline, facilitates sorting and searching across biographical databases, and provides a compact reference that hints at the era in which a person lived. When used without a name or context, however, the years 1894 and 1973 describe a broad cohort rather than a single figure.

A person with this lifespan would have experienced the tail end of the 19th century as a childhood period, witnessed major 20th-century events, and lived through substantial social, political, and technological changes. These include World War I, the interwar era, World War II, and the early decades of the Cold War, differing widely by region and occupation. The specific contributions, affiliations, and achievements of individuals born in 1894 or who died in 1973 must be identified through additional biographical information.
