| Text on back reads, "SERVIA, A country of Europe, bounded N.W. by the river Save, separating it from Austria, N. and N.E. by the Danube, separating it from Hungary and Roumania. The capital city is Belgarde [Belgrade]. This country is mountainous, being traversed by portions of three great mountain chains, the Carpathians, Balkans, and Dinaric Alps. The climate is cold in the mountains, but mild and pleasant in the valleys. The inhabitants are Serbs, a branch of the Slavic race, who speak the softest, most musical of all the Slavic dialects. They are noted for their firmness, courage and generosity. Our photo represents a group of Servians in their usual somewhat fantastic dress, demonstrating the usefulness of our Singer Machine, which has found its way over the mountains into thousands of Servian homes." Same text appears on Image ID: 57505. |
