"Fotoreproductie van tien genretaferelen" (Photo Reproduction of Ten Genre Scenes) is a photomechanical print from 1872-1882 by Dutch artist Johannes Jaeger (1832-1908). The work features ten small, detailed black and white photographic reproductions of genre paintings. The images appear to depict scenes of everyday life, possibly set in homes or taverns. The work exemplifies Jaeger's interest in the technical innovations of photography, particularly the ability to reproduce other artworks with great accuracy. This "photo-facsimile" offers viewers a glimpse into the genre painting style popular in the 19th century.
