The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Unknown photographer. Photograph purchased by Dezső Bozóky. “From the top of the hill, a villa in the Old German style contemplates the city. The villa is surrounded by a vast park, from which one can see the summer cottages on the neighbouring hills, which are inhabited by foreign consulates” (Bozóky 1911, I. 488). Stranded sailing boats wait for the return of the tide in the bay; on the left, the wooden pier used for mooring during low tide runs deep in the water. Long
warehouses line the shore.
