Every line in the bottom margin is set twice, once in Cyrillic and once in Latin, the boulevard and then each of the three buildings in the view, which is the doubling Yugoslav publishing used after 1918. The three are named as the house of national health, the palace of the workers' chamber and the Croatia palace, so a health institute, a labour body and a commercial block stand together along one new boulevard.
About this place
Queen Mary Boulevard was cut through the eastern edge of the old town in 1928 as the approach to the new Prince Tomislav bridge, and it is the street now called Bulevar Mihajla Pupina. Making it meant clearing the ground between the centre and the river: the church of St John Nepomuk, which stood at Brukšanac, the small work that had guarded the pontoon bridge, was pulled down for it. The boulevard took its name from Queen Marija, consort of King Aleksandar I, and lost it after the Second World War, when it was renamed for the physicist Mihajlo Pupin. It opened the line along which the city finally reached the Danube.
