Shopfronts line the street leading to Elisabeth Square, where a fountain sits among trees and an electric tram runs along the far side. The Hungarian and German Erzsebet ter and Elisabeth Platz caption, honoring the Habsburg empress and carrying no Cyrillic, is consistent with the pre-1918 name for this square. The publisher's imprint names J. Hohlfeld of Ujvidek.
About this place
A square distinct from the main square. Habsburg-era cards use the name Erzsebet for both a square and a hotel, which makes the two easy to confuse. The main post office stood on it, and cards caption the pair together as Erzsebet-ter a fopostaval, Elizabeth Square with the main post office. The higher commercial school stood on it too. Erzsebet ter became Wilson Square and is today Trg mladenaca. The Serbian name Trg Marije Trandafil belongs to a different square 678 m north-east.
