Four traditional tailors — terzije — sit cross-legged on the pavement before a shop in Ragusa (Dubrovnik), embroidering and hand-stitching elaborate folk costumes in gold-trimmed cloth, while a fifth man in a fez and sash stands watching. The caption reads "Terzije — Nationaltrachtschneider" (tailors of national dress) in Serbo-Croatian and German. The terzije were specialist craftsmen whose name derives from the Turkish terzi (tailor), working in velvet, brocade, and silk atlas cloth to produce the ornate embroidered vests, jackets, and garments of South Slavic folk dress — a tradition that blended Ottoman, Venetian, and indigenous Dalmatian influences in the regions around Ragusa. Published by J. Tošović of Ragusa — one of the important early Dalmatian postcard publishers — with a multilingual reverse: Dopisnica (Croatian), Correspondenz-Karte (German), Cartolina di Corrispondenza (Italian), reflecting Ragusa's position under Austro-Hungarian administration at the turn of the century.
