Professor Hoffmann was born July 23, 1839. If my arithmetic is correct, that would make today the 180th anniversary of his birth. Also worth noting is the fact that later this year will be the 100th anniversary of his passing away.

Re: Anniversary of Professor Hoffmann's Birth
And now we have reached December 23, 2019, which (as noted by Philippe above) is the hundredth anniversary of Professor Hoffmann's passing away.
Of course, in much of the world, it's already December 24. But not in the US!

Re: Anniversary of Professor Hoffmann's Birth
Wilfrid Jonson makes frequent critical references about the good professor in "Mr Smith's Guide to Sleight of Hand" which greatly amuses me for some odd reason.
