The City of Flowers: Dezso Bozy's Canton Photographs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789887470700)

In 1908, Hungarian doctor Dezső Boz ky left Hong Kong as an officer with the Austro-Hungarian Navy and became a witness to the end of China's imperial era. As he traveled through Canton, Fujian, Shanghai, and Beijing, he documented the countryside, numerous cities along China's coast, and his impressions of regions that were experiencing dramatic socioeconomic change. The City of Flowers shares the diary excerpts and photographs that Boz ky created during his time in Canton and Guangdong provinces to offer a glimpse of life during one of China's most transformative periods. Each image is digitized from Boz ky's hand-colored glass slides, which are held in the permanent collection of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts in Budapest. Although the Qing Dynasty ended long ago, Boz ky's interest in nature, architecture, the Qing Dynasty, and the people he met resonates with audiences today.
