The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. A dirt road with a sharp bend, and a view of the city, from an elevated viewpoint. Two women can be seen in the foreground, and two others further off, who cover their head with their aprons. One and multi-storey stone buildings are visible, and even the city gates can be seen in the distance, over the low roofs.
