Visit to the Land of Morning Calm. Dr Dezső Bozóky’s Korean PhotographsThe few Hungarians who visited the Korean Peninsula at the dawn of the 20th century could observe it during a short-lived transitory period. Korea was still formally an independent state, while the encroachments of the Empire of Japan already foreshadowed the impending loss of statehood. It was during this time of transition that Dr Dezső Bozóky (1871–1957), a physician of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, visited Korea aboard SMS Kaiser Franz Josef I, and took a number of photographs that bear evidence to the last days of the Korean Empire. This volume salutes both Dezső Bozóky’s effort and the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Hungary and the Republic of Korea, which took place on 1 February, 1989.

Visit to the Ottoman Empire. Dr Dezső Bozóky’s Photographs. Dr Dezső Bozóky’s Photographs (1905-1904)Dezső Bozóky (1871–1957) in 1905–1906 as naval physician of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy has served more than a year on shipboard the Taurus around the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin. He has been to several major ports, sojourned for a longer time in Constantinople, visited Bursa and Izmir as well. Of all the photos he recorded then, only about 300 pieces of glass stereotypes have survived, preserved at Hopp Museum. With his essay, Turkic scholar Gábor Fodor offers a history of Austria-Hungary’s stationed boat in Constantinople, and helps readers to orient themselves and understand the conditions of the Ottoman Empire at the time the photos were made.
