Bathed in the warm amber light of a Bavarian summer evening, the Oberammergauer Passionstheater dominates this hand-colored postcard issued in direct conjunction with the legendary 1910 Passion Play cycle — one of the most-attended religious theatrical events in the world, drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and tourists to the tiny Alpine village every decade since the villagers' 1633 plague vow. The theater's distinctive arched open stage, flanked by symmetrical wings and fronted by rows of young trees, looks almost ecclesiastical in its solemnity; visitors like Mark Twain had marveled at the spectacle just decades before this card was printed. Published by the Munich house of Scheffler & Schiekofer, this is a purpose-produced souvenir of a singular cultural moment.
