EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the House of Anton Lang, a historic building located in the heart of Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany. The House was once the residence, shop, and pension of the renowned German studio potter and actor, Anton Lang (1875-1938). Lang was an esteemed figure in the village, best known for his exceptional acting skills in the Oberammergau Passion Play. He portrayed the role of Jesus Christ in 1900, 1910, and 1922, adding to the rich tradition of this unique theatrical event that has been performed by the inhabitants of Oberammergau since 1634. The quaint Bavarian architecture of the House of Anton Lang is a testament to the region's history and charm. The building, with its intricate woodwork and warm, inviting facade, stands as a symbol of the enduring artistic and cultural heritage of Oberammergau. This photograph holds a special significance for the sender of this card, who recently had the privilege of witnessing Lang's powerful portrayal of Jesus in the Passion Play. As a memento of this unforgettable experience, they purchased a beautiful plate directly from Lang himself in his shop. The plate, like the House, serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and the exceptional talent that have come to define Oberammergau and its people.
