This 1825 print by Floris May, titled *Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse courantombrengers voor het jaar 1825*, depicts a scene from a Dutch fair. The print features three circular vignettes, each depicting a different aspect of the fair. The central vignette shows a bustling marketplace, while the vignettes to the left and right show a ship and a tree, respectively. The print is a celebration of the city of Amsterdam, with its bustling commerce and cultural life. This broadside exemplifies the genre of *kermisprint*, or fair print, which was popular in the Netherlands during the 19th century.
