  2. Arraiolos, Portugal, 1959. Another non-Hungarian photo in the Fortepan archive, this one from the University Wisconsin Milwakuee Library.

    What a face, and what a look!

  3. A very typical image of a horse-mounted herdsman on the Great Hungarian Plain or puszta. Known as 'csikós' in Hungarian, they display great horsemanship— not to mention great whip-handling abilities too. They occupy a similar position to that of the American cowboy in Hungarian consciousness. Goulash, authentically a meat soup, originated from them as a one of their typical meals.

  4. Kecskemét, 1968. These two men don’t seem like the talkative types to me. At least not while they were at the local market in Kecskemét, a largish town on the Hungarian Southern Great Plain.
