The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. Animals laden with firewood and their drivers. A line of mules laden with wood on the right, with their drivers squatting before them. There is also a rickshaw on the extreme right. On the left, a straw-hatted driver faces the camera. In the background, a man in a traditional costume is approaching, and two boys lean in the open window of a one-storey tavern or eatery, with their elbows on the ledge. Telegram and telephone lines run above the buildings.
