Turbaned merchants, veiled women, and fez-capped men move through the cobblestoned bazaar of Baščaršija — Sarajevo's ancient Ottoman market quarter — while the minaret and lead dome of the Baščaršija Mosque (Džamija) pierce a cloud-strewn Bosnian sky above corrugated market awnings still evocative of Istanbul or Aleppo. This real photograph postcard, published by Papirnica H. Kopčić of Sarajevo (no. 422, 1930 edition), was posted on 31 August 1933 from Sarajevo to a Miss named R.E. in Syracuse, New York, USA — franked with a Yugoslav 3-dinar King Alexander definitive stamp and struck with the bilingual Sarajevo machine cancel promoting the purchase of postage stamps ("Marku lepiti na desnom gornjem uglu" — "Affix stamp to upper right corner"). The handwritten message, in what appears to be a Western European script, fills the left margin and message area, describing the writer's experience in Bosnia. This is a vivid, commercially published real-photo card of the Baščaršija at its inter-war peak, just a year before the assassination of King Alexander — a historically charged moment for Yugoslavia.
