The one hundred and twenty-first book: #92 Camera Obscura - Hildebrand

Having had to deal with older English before, here I got to contend with some old, nineteenth century Dutch writing. On the whole it was just that bit more challenging to follow, mostly having to remember some older meanings of words, but it gave character to the stories as well. A lot of these are stories of daily life, characters of the day and the amazement of the rise of the railways, preferred over travel by boat. They got very moralistic in places, more treatises on specific topics, but when it's more focused on the characters it got more interesting.
