A photographic postcard with a stamp of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes affixed to the picture side and cancelled. A street runs away between tall shopfronts, a pharmacy at the left signed Lekarna and Apoteka with a hanging sign, and at the right a corner building with a deep awning and a bank lettered in Cyrillic across its upper floor. A dome rises in the middle distance. Men in hats and a woman in a summer dress cross the roadway and boys stand at the corner.
About this place
Lebarski sokak, the bread sellers' lane, is the old name of today's Miletićeva street, which runs between Zmaj Jovina and Jovana Subotića in the old core of Novi Sad. It appears under that name on city plans from the middle of the 18th century, taken from the bread sellers who traded in that part of town. Hungarian and German usage translated the name directly, as Kenyér utca and Brodgasse, and postcards of the street carry both forms. After the First World War it was renamed for the Serbian politician Svetozar Miletić, and it briefly bore the name of Lajos Kossuth during the Hungarian occupation of 1941 to 1944.
