The image shows a sign or placard with information in both Latvian and English. The Latvian title is "Dziesmu krājumi nedeg," which translates to "Songbooks Don't Burn." The sign provides a brief description of the history of Latvian songbooks, mentioning the first Latvian Song Festival, composer Baumaņu Kārlis, and the song "Līgo." It also describes how the publication of the songbook was confiscated and likely burned by order of the Russian Ministry of Interior and the governor. The sign concludes by stating that at least 12 copies of the songbook have survived to this day, all missing the title page. The image suggests the sign is located in Riga, Latvia, due to the information about Latvian songbooks and the use of the Latvian language.
