Kolozsvár - Wesselényi Miklós-utca : levelező-lap (89)

Cluj in 1914 looks strikingly different along Wesselényi Miklós-utca — today's Calea Regelui Ferdinand — from anything we would recognise now. The street has carried many names over the years, from Híd utcza to Gheorghe Doja, each renaming marking a shift in regime or official language. The postcard was published by Schuster Emil in the same year Europe went to war, making this quiet city corner a witness to a world on the verge of disappearing.
