Dezső Bozóky hand-coloured glass diapositive. Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. The corner of a firewood market, with oxen laden with wood and their big-hatted drivers. “There’s a wooden saddle on the bull’s back, on which they pile up high the bags or wood, with the load also
hanging down on both sides of the animal, almost touching the ground. To tell the truth, only the head of the poor animal sticks out from the pile of wood. There is a large wooden ring pushed through the nose of the bull, and this is what the driver, who wears a giant straw hat, tugs at to make it follow him” (Bozóky 1911, I. 493).
