The clubhouse is built as an arcaded pavilion with a veranda and garden seating rather than a plain shooting gallery. The heading, Lövölde, Schiessstätte, names the place as the city's shooting range, and the publisher's imprint at left reads Verlag v. Ignaz Urbán. The card is signed Tisztelettel, Geiszler Róbert, the same recurring collector's signature found on three other Ujvidék view-cards from 1900 to 1901.

About this place
Built in 1890 for the centenary of the civic shooting society of Újvidék, founded in 1790, to an eclectic design by György Molnár, with a landscaped pleasure garden on the grounds beside today's Futoški park. The hall still stands and is known today as Eđšeg, from the Hungarian egység (unity), in use as a cultural centre.
