'Piet Van Mechelen is obsessed with capturing Antwerp in pictures. His journey of discovery, through streets and alleys of the changing Flemish city, takes place at a time when new discoveries, theories and inventions are shaking society. His aim is admirable, but his obsession dismays his young wife, and the elements of his occupation bring about his downfall. This story is modelled on actual events that took place in 1877' (publication blurb).
