This 1832 woodblock print, created by an anonymous artist, is a *Kermisprent*, a type of broadside popular in the Netherlands. *Kermisprenten* were often printed for special occasions, such as fairs or festivals, and usually featured a combination of text and images. This particular print celebrates the annual fair in Amsterdam, with a poem dedicated to the city's merchants, citizens, and inhabitants. It includes three circular images: two depicting scenes from Amsterdam and one showing a landscape with a church. The print reflects the social and cultural significance of the fair in 19th-century Amsterdam, highlighting the city's economic prosperity and communal spirit.
