Verlagsanstalt fuer Kunst und Wissenschaft, VORMALS FRIEDRICH BRUCKMANN, MUNICH. Photographs of the Oberammergau Passion Play, 1890. MUNICH, May 20, 1890. The world-famed Passion Play of Oberammergau began at the end of May. Before that time we had ready the collection of photographs which we are offering for sale.

Cabinets, Selling Price, Quartos, Selling Price, LARGE DISCOUNTS TO THE TRADE. 25 Cents. 60 Cents. A limited number of catalogues for distribution to customers may be had on application. 100 copies with imprint furnished for 10 cents. These photographs, published by the "Art and Publishing Establishment in Oberammergau and sanctioned by the Commune," are the only ones which will be taken at all in 1890 of the Passion Play, and which are authorized. They bear the imprint of the Commune of Oberammergau, and are to be had by Booksellers and Dealers in Art, through us alone. All reproductions offered for sale by other firms are from former photographs of the years 1871 and 1880, and are therefore completely out of date. We therefore recommend all our correspondents to keep our Collection in stock and call their attention to the statement below.* VERLAGSANSTALT FUER KUNST UND WISSENSCHAFT, Vormals Friedrich Bruckmann. *We make known, by this present, that we have given the Publishing Firm for Art and Science, formerly Friedrich Bruckmann, in Munich, the sole right of general sale to Booksellers and Dealers in Art of our Officially Recognized Photographic Reproductions, permitted by the Commune of Oberammergau of the PASSION PLAY IN OBERAMMERGAU IN 1890. Each copy of these photographic reproductions bears the imprint of the Commune of Oberammergau. Every other imitation of any sort, be it in separate persons or in groups, is from earlier photographs and is quite out of date, as the performers, garments, grouping, etc., have undergone so many changes. All such imitations purporting to represent the Passion Play in 1890 are against the law, and as such will be prosecuted by us. OBERAMMERGAU, April 20, 1890.

D. cl., $1.25. The teachings and miracles of Jesus in Jerusalem color the opening chapters. His precepts make an indelible impression upon Leah, a young Jewish maiden, who loves Paul. She is the centre of a dramatic story. She is taken prisoner by a band of wandering Arabs and forced to become the wife of one of the chiefs; afterwards is sold as a slave to the Romans. Her gradual acceptance of Christianity, the horrors of the arena that she witnesses in Rome, her meeting again with Paul, are a few of the details of an excellent religious tale. *Böhm-Bawerk, Eugen v.
