The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. Related item: F.2004.641. (photo). A view of the city and the shore, from an elevated viewpoint. New multi-storey Japanese houses in the foreground, traditional Korean houses further off on the left, wedged between the brick houses. “The European colony lives here on
a beautifully landscaped little hill by the port... The Chinese quarter is next to it...Then comes the large Japanese quarter, which grows fast and will soon sweep the remnants of the Korean city from its path” (Bozóky 1911, I. 490–491).
