Two stamps have been stuck on the picture side and cancelled, both inscribed in Cyrillic and in Latin with the title of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a state name used only between 1918 and 1929. The cancels carry both the Serbian and the Hungarian name of the town, a bilingual datestamp still in service seven years after the change of state. A single tram car stands in the unmade street before the court.
About this place
The court house stands at the Danube park end of Dunavska street and was raised in 1896 to plans by the Budapest architect Gyula Wagner. Under Hungarian rule it held the royal court of justice, and a trilingual postcard of 1915 labels it M. Kir. Törvényszék, Окружни суд and Justizpalais, giving the Hungarian, Serbian and German names in turn. It went on housing courts after 1918, when the city passed to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The Vojvodina Museum, founded in 1947 and without adequate premises for decades, moved into the former courthouse in 1974 and occupies it still under the name Museum of Vojvodina.
