Awninged shops line the Elizabeth Hotel's ground floor, including a fashion department store, as vendors and pedestrians cross the square beneath a tall lamp post. The card's Hungarian, German and Cyrillic Hotel Jelisaveta caption places it in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

About this place
The Queen Mary was a single storey hotel built in the classicist manner, with a summer garden that the archive photographed in 1935. This archive's catalogue records that it went up in 1854 for its owner Johann Eigler and first traded under the name Elisabeth, and that it was renamed the Queen Mary Hotel on 9 May 1922, after Marija, consort of King Aleksandar I of Yugoslavia. That change of sign is the ordinary pattern in Novi Sad after 1918, when Habsburg names on streets, squares and businesses gave way to those of the new royal house. Nothing further about the building has been traced beyond the archive's own record.
