Monday | 06:15 PM | Early Photography of Korea in Hungarian Collections Dr. Beatrix Mecsi, Eötvös Loránd University Hungary (Ungarn) Dr. Mecsi’s lecture on “Early Photography of Korea in Hungarian Collections” will highlight the photography and collecting activities of two Hungarian visitors to Korea: Ferenc Hopp (1833-1919) and Dezső Bozóky (1871-1957). Hopp, an optician and owner of a lens manufacturing company, went to Korea on his third world tour in 1903, while Bozóky, a doctor in the military, travelled there in July 1908. They both portray the country during a crucial historical period, when it had just emerged on the international scene as an independent nation and was not yet swallowed up by the Japanese Empire.
