A view of Kamenica's church spire above the rooftops and the Danube fills this printed postal card, captioned in Cyrillic and Latin as Kamenica, Srem. It is franked with a Kingdom of Yugoslavia stamp bearing the young king's portrait and postmarked at Backa Topola, with a handwritten message in Hungarian to Budapest. The printed Kraljevina Jugoslavija postal stationery heading fixes it firmly in the interwar kingdom.
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
