The Tax and Customs Office in Novi Sad, an ornate building with a central onion-domed tower, captioned 'Ado es vam hivatal, Ujvidek'. A crowd gathers at the entrance steps. A pale disc, likely the moon, hangs in the sky. Published by Michael Abraham of Ujvidek, printed by Edgar Schmidt of Dresden and Budapest, and addressed by hand to Weinfeld Jeno.

About this place
The tax and customs house was the office where the state collected its money in Novi Sad under Hungarian rule. The two postcards of it in this archive show a two storey corner palace in the eclectic manner, its ground floor rusticated and arcaded, a turret with a bulbous cupola set over the corner, and young trees along the pavement. Both cards name it twice over, Adóhivatal és vámház in Hungarian and Steueramt und Zollamt in German, and one of them names the town three ways at once, Ujvidék, Нови Сад and Neusatz, which is how the place presented itself to visitors before 1918. Neither card gives a date of building or an architect, and nothing further about the house has been traced.
