A printer's shop in Oberammergau is the subject here, though the caption places the village in Austria. The record marks that title as unverified, and the village is in Bavaria, Germany. Oberammergau is famous for its Passion Play, performed every ten years since 1634 in fulfillment of a vow made during a plague, and for its woodcarvers. Small shops like this one supplied the town and its visitors with printed notices, devotional pictures and souvenirs. The undated nitrate negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that recorded European scenes in the early twentieth century.
