Dezső Bozóky hand-coloured glass diapositive. Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. Jemulpo’s pleasure district during the day. A kimono-wearing girl in the foreground is pointing at the camera, the wheels of a rickshaw can be seen under the roof, and the sign on the column advertises Kabuto beer (In Japanese:カブトビール). With a tray in his hands, a boy is approaching through the gate of the district.
