What reading level is Typical Pictures of Indian Natives With Descriptive Letterpress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A CABULI.
The accompanying picture represents a native of Cabul, and the dress is typical of that worn by most Afghans. Those who visit the larger Indian towns are usually horse-dealers or their attendants, and may be distinguished by their loose baggy trousers and smocks. They are a hardy race of men, and usually excellent horsemen, although their movements, like those of most Asiatics, are slow and heavy. It was not without very considerable difficulty that one of their number was persuaded t...o be photographed. Of an exceedingly suspicious disposition, they all enquired the reason of a portrait being needed, and, when informed that it was for the purpose of showing, by the aid of a picture, how an Afghan was dressed, they one and all declared that that could not be the truth, as everybody knew that already !
Most of the Cabulis who are temporarily staying in Bombay are known to each other, and since they soon discovered that applications for sittings had been made to several of their number, they were much exercised in their minds to decide upon what was likely to be the real reason for this unusual demand.
