	George Glazer Gallery - About Genre and Humor
		Genre, caricature, humorous and satirical prints are historical documents of the social values of the times in which they were made.
		The Library of Congress' Thesaurus of Graphic Materials II defines genre works as, "Scenes or incidents of everyday life, such as domestic interiors or rural and village scenes; tableaux; chiefly pre-1900." These pictures have their roots in Dutch 17th century paintings of daily life and were very popular during the 18th and 19th centuries.
		Sometimes the distinction between humorous and genre prints is blurred, as many genre prints incorporate social or political commentary, and a humorous perspective ranging from gently comic to biting satire, often through the use of caricatures.
