Adrianus is standing in front of a fake landscape. To the modern eye, it is pretty obvious that the trees, bushes and the fence are painted on the backdrop in the photo studio. He is standing quite tense, trying to avoid even the smallest movement. It looks like he is holding his breath, while looking straight into the camera with an intense stare. He is wearing his work clothes, his face and hands still dirty from the hard work in the factory. He tried to brush it off, but the dirt was determined to be documented with him for all of eternity.
He twitched for a moment, not believing what he is seeing in front of him.

''Adrianus''
Well, good day visitors. My name is Adrianus and this is my house. How can I help you?

Of course, but there is not much about it. To be honest, this isn't my house. I have to rent it from my Landlord. He is also the owner of the whole street, even the bakery, but I only see him when he wants his rent. But I am in the factory all day long so, he usually talks to my wife. I don't think there is much to show to you, but if something catches your eye you can ask me about it.

I work in a textile factory. There is not much to say about it. Almost everybody does that now. Back in the days, people worked from home, in houses this size. Unbelievable! I sometimes wonder how and where they would put those big looms...

Yeah, well, that is a nice thing. We don't have to go outside and get water from the well behind our house anymore. We can just open the tap and water comes out. Just like magic! My wife likes to complain about how stingy our landlord is, because we only got one tap. And of course, it also had to be in the living room, so she had to move all the furniture around.

Bathroom? No, that is too expensive. We have a toilet outside. That worked for the last hundreds of years and it will continue to work for the upcoming hundreds of years, as well.

Of course we have lights in this house! That is another thing our landlord installed: gas light. It is a new piece of modern magic that is called technology! We have this little metal box in the back. When you throw some cents in, the room will be day bright for quite some time. It is a good thing to have gas available.

//pissed//
The government wants us to stop spitting everywhere and use handkerchiefs. The handkerchiefs are nice but the spitting pots? They are never there when I need them! They come with tiny legs or something, because every time I think I stand next to them, they are gone. Poof! And then my wife gets angry at me? She should be angry at the person who is always moving the pots around.

That is a good question! I invested into pigeons and now I have to take care of them. I am singing in the choir, as well.

Yes, and I am quite successful if I may add that. Every time our first singer Jan is sick, I will be right there to replace him. I mean, I can sing good enough to impress the woman I am now married to, to go out with me, so I think I own that position in the choir.
We lost a bit of popularity because of the rising of that stupid marching band but with the new chairman we changed our orientation. We are gaining more and more popularity again. He will lead us back to our old strength. If you are interested, you can find us right next to the crossbow association on the marketplace.

That is a funny thing. A few years ago, Petrus, a colleague, got into pigeon racing. He bought a few birds and for the longest time, he wasn't really successful with it. But than one day he won 500 bucks with one of the birds. 500! So I got to the pigeon exchange market, bought everything I needed, and now we have race pigeons in the attic! And they are winners!

Well, not yet. But the birds are on their way to become the best in town. I can feel it. All the love and care I put into them will pay off someday..
''Adrianus''
//sigh//
To be fair, I don't think I only love them for financial gain anymore. They are great listeners and they make sure I spend time outside, in clean air. They are quite majestic birds. Not that the crossbow association or any other person in this household has any understanding for them.

Sadly, she isn't a fan of animals. Ever since she got in touch with the white-yellow cross, she sees health risks everywhere. She thinks that keeping them over the kitchen ruins the food and will make all of us sick. To be fair, I think she is just jealous and now she has an excuse so we can get rid of them.

I don't know exactly, they are quite new. They are a part of the church and offer help to mothers and pregnant women. They want to do something against the high child mortality rate.

I don't know. For example, she was very fascinated by the number of babies that died, because they were fed with an contaminated bottle. They took samples a few years ago and if I remember correctly around 75% were bad? So they encourage breastfeeding now.

I don't know what to believe anymore. Nothing seemed to help our little Henricus. Do you see the decorations around the coffin? The children of the neighbours did it. Isn't it beautiful? They also put up the barrel outside, so visitors could pray for our little son.

Oh, yes, we had a big problem with smallpox a few years ago. It was horrible. People became blind and got these terrible scars from it. But they invented a vaccine and vaccinated all the children to keep them save. Now, it is not a problem anymore. And the white-yellow Cross is doing their fair share of work, too.

There is not really a story behind it. It was one of the first major concerts after I joined and, of course, Jan got sick last minute. He is our main voice, and we didn't expect him to get sick so suddenly, so nobody else was prepared to sing his part. Except for me. I found it weird that nobody prepared a backup, so I did it in advance. After some discussions, they all agreed that I could sing it. We did well that night.
On the next day, I met this woman on the market place. She recognized me and wanted to tell how great I did. And that one thing led to the other, I guess.
