A greeting, a signature and a written date run across the foot in ink, so the card dates itself to July 1901. The caption is Hungarian alone, which places it before 1918, and it names the higher commercial school on the square, while the publisher's line describes itself as a postcard publishing office in the town, so a local firm was already in that trade by then.

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.
