A group of men stands in a punt in midstream while a second boat is rowed past, and at the left a man leads a horse down to drink at the water's edge. The town closes the far bank, the tall spire of the Church of the Name of Mary at the right and a lower clock tower among the roofs. Published by J. Singer, court photographer in Ujvidék.

About this place
The city's central park was laid out in 1895 on a swampy former branch of the Danube known as the Liman, until then a reedbed of willows, mosquitoes and frogs. Its small lake keeps an island named Erzsébet in honour of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, assassinated in 1898. The fountain sculpture of a nymph, the Girl with the Horn of Plenty by Đorđe Jovanović, was installed in 1912, and later decades added monuments to the poets Đura Jakšić (1982) and Miroslav Antić (1992). Covering four hectares with some 760 trees, the park is protected as a Monument of Nature.
