The great Leonid shower storm of 1833

Reproduction of a wood-cut engraving by Adolf Vollmy based upon an original painting by the Swiss artist Karl Jauslin was produced some 50 years after the event. The depiction is through the eyes of a government civil servant on his way from Florida to New Orleans.--Smkolins 23:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
