The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Photograph taken by Dezső Bozóky. The entrance to the port, photographed immediately from the coast. Underneath the Korean and Japanese flags, Japanese-style houses and warehouses can be seen. Towards the centre, bags lie in orderly stacks, with Korean men standing on top of them. Empty boats waiting
to be loaded are moored along the coast, and there is a multitude of people on the pier. “Immediately before Busan, a three-hundred-
metre tall hill rises from the sea, which ensures the water of Busan’s port is calm” (Bozóky 1911, I. 527). Other publication: Bozóky Dezső: Két év Keletázsiában. Útirajzok. I-II. kötet. China és Korea, Japán. (동아시아에서의 2년. 여행기 I.-II. 권, 중국과 한국, 일본) Nagyvárad, the author's edition, 1911.
