Overall: 
Article is new enough (albeit almost stretching it), well sourced, hook is interesting, image lacks any copyright issues and QPQ is completed. I don't see anything that would hold this back from DYK, so I approve. I made a slight modification to the hook to fix a grammatical error - 'the 1840s'.
