Gróf Andrássy Gyula - portraits

While prepairing an essay to be read in public in our German class about "Our favourite prominent person in history" - it's easy to guess whom I chose at once! - I collected quite a number of pictures portraing Gyula Andrássy senior. (Actually, I was looking for those anyway, for I am soooo interested in his personality...)
At first there was only that famous Gyula Benczúr's painting and several engravings, which made me very suspicious - What, no photos at the age of rapidly developing photography? (Carrie would understand me, I hope;-) Finally, however, I found a number of photos as well, which ruined such a gothic hypothesis...

I should also say that though I write in most places dates, I can't be 100% sure about them. You know, Google may lie, Wiki may lie - if some Hungarian-language sites contain only precise facts, I may misunderstand them (with my almost non-existent level of Hungarian, hehe) So if you know something certain about any pictures of these - especially about dates - then I'd be glad to learn that and correct the errors.

Anyway, let us begin with that most famous portrait by Benczúr. Dated 1884 - so the man on the picture is 61 years old.
