A greetings card looking across the Danube to Kamenitz, the long white block of the cadet school standing above the town on the hillside at the right of centre, with church towers among the roofs below and a further spire close to the water at the right. The sender has dated the card in ink across the caption and written the message beneath.

About this place
A settlement on the Fruska Gora side of the Danube, upstream of Petrovaradin and now part of Novi Sad. Cards sell it as Luftkurort Kamenitz, an air resort, and it was reached from the town by steamer. The imperial and royal infantry cadet school stood here, and the Serbian Orthodox church appears on cards captioned Kamenica in Serbian, Kamanc in Hungarian and Kamenitz in German.
On the card
Gruss aus Kamenitz a. Donau. / 5/11. 1899. / Verlag von Johann Kunst, Kamenitz.
