Perhaps some confusion on the part of the artist, when the concept of a shower-radiant was explained to him. And the other reason....is that it happily resides in my own personal collection. ;-) I'm very pleased that Richard Norton thought highly enough of it to put in his new "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites" (p. 14).
