Furthermore, in the same episode painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) appears and says, "There was a slight commotion at the Paris Salon this year," and "I had to repaint the strap back in place.", referring to the debut of his controversial painting "Madame X" or "Portrait of Madame X" (1884) at the Salon de Paris on May 1st, 1884 AD. So it must be during or after May of 1884 AD.
More specifically, also in season 3 episode 1 almost immediately at the beginning butler N. Church says, "Has there ever been snow this close to the spring?" so it is mid-1884 AD.
