History of the Photo 'Royal' Studio in Novi Bečej

Photo 'Royal'

Photo Royal – Photograph. Photograph of the Vranjevo Catholic Church with an inscription on the back – A memento from Hranislav M. Stojšin. Snapshot from the early 1940s, from the collection of Karolj AndreaInformation about the owner and photographer of the Photo 'Royal' studio has not been found to this day, so during our research, we mainly relied on the accounts of older local residents. Based on this, we learned that, according to some, the Photo 'Royal' studio was located in one of the rooms of the 'Royal' hotel, later the 'Jadran' hotel. According to others, the studio was in a very beautiful courtyard building next to the 'Royal' cinema hall, which burned down in the 1930s. However, we tend to believe that the 'Royal' studio was actually located on the ground floor of the impressive hotel building and had a view of the main street, which was typical for photography studios.

Signatures with dates on the back of the photographs indicate that the 'Royal' studio was available to the public from the late 1930s to the late 1940s.
