Fotoreproducties van geschilderde portretten en taferelen met Christus, engelen en onbekende mensen before 1885

This album of photographic reproductions by Erche & Co. showcases a collection of paintings depicting scenes from the life of Christ, angels, and unidentified figures. Dating back to before 1885, the album offers a glimpse into the popularity of religious imagery in art during the late 19th century. The album’s format and the black-and-white reproductions suggest that it was intended for a general audience, perhaps as a source of inspiration or religious instruction. The small size of the individual images, measuring 265 mm by 180 mm, allowed for convenient viewing and portability. These photographic reproductions, a popular method of art dissemination in the 19th century, made it possible for a wider audience to access and enjoy the work of artists.
