In the drawing of the sculptor and painter Diep Minh Chau (1919-2002), a barefoot little boy is reading on his stomach on a bench with a lantern next to him. Photographer Miklós Rév took photos in 1959 in North Vietnam, in the then Democratic Republic of Vietnam. They reported on their trip with journalist Imre Patkó in their book "Vietnam", published in 1960.
