A colour view along a narrow city street on a bright day, the shaded flank of a building filling the left edge. A crowd of people crosses the road on a zebra crossing in the foreground, men in wide flared trousers and open shirts, a woman in a short striped dress, another in a long patterned skirt, one man carrying a bag at his side. Small saloon cars are parked nose in along both kerbs, an orange one nearest the camera, with more strung out up the street. The right hand side is a terrace of older houses, their stucco discoloured and patched, shop signs projecting from the ground floors and a shopfront with a bright fascia and a poster board standing at the near corner. Further up, a large numeral is fixed high on a pale gable, and beyond it rises the drum and dome of a church with a standing figure on its lantern.
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.
