Excellent observation, Bernd! Indeed, the grass is too high for January! The mystery continues.
Perhaps Zelimir can tell us if there is anything in Lespiault and Forquignon's report that corroborates any of the features of Poyet's illustration. Here is a link to the original report (in French): http://visualiseur.bnf.fr/CadresFenetre?O=NUMM-3053&I=1022&M=tdm I love these kinds of meteorite mysteries. Let's solve it! I'll keep looking...

Pauli Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 1:26 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] T-shirt (and French Fall) Hello List, I wrote: "St. Caprais-de-Quinsac...Gironde (France) Fell 1883, Jan 28, 14:45 hrs" Sounds good, looks good, ... but: Have a close look at the date of the fall: Jan 28 !!! Now, when you compare this with Mike B.'s remarks: "One will note that there are many farmers about and the horse is saddled with the hay carriage." The only conclusion we can thus draw is that the scene depicts an (imaginary?) event in late summer during the harvest season, probably August. Another possibility might be that Poyet so-to-speak "merged" two incidents: the fall of the St. Caprais-de-Quinsac meteorite and the harvest scene. A case of ... artistic license?
