The album containing Dezső Bozóky's travelphotos (second). Related item: A.4760.2. (album). Unknown photographer. Photograph purchased by Dezső Bozóky. Panoramic view on two pages of the album, created from two photographs. “The regular streets of the new town gather around the attractive woody hill in the centre of the city. Shady stone steps lead to the Shinto temple on the top of the hill ... [from where] a captivating beautiful panorama of the whole city and the sea can be enjoyed. The streets of Busan are wide and straight, without exception, and intersect at right angles, as in modern American cities” (Bozóky 1911, I. 527−528).
