The plan / view of Zagreb in sepia technique shows all the streets and houses from Trnje and the train station in the south to the Gupčeva zvijezda (Gubec Star) in the north, Črnomerec in the west and Trg N (today's Square of the victims of fascism) in the east in a semi-perspective. Because all the buildings are visible, the plan is very valuable for tracking the development of the city in the first half of the 20th century.
BALKAN MENTOR
