A halftone reproduction off a printed page rather than an original print. The men in the roadway wear steel helmets and long greatcoats with rifles slung, and the bodies are being dragged over the packed snow on low sledges. The street is a run of single-storey houses with ornamented stucco surrounds to their windows, one of them under a long shop fascia whose lettering has not survived the reproduction, and the wall beyond has two of its windows bricked up.
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.
