This is a New Year's greeting card created by Friedrich Robert Prinz in 1859-1860. The artwork depicts a view of Amsterdam, featuring the iconic "Night Watch" (De Nachtwacht) painting by Rembrandt van Rijn, along with three other city scenes. The card features decorative floral flourishes around the images, and the text includes a poem dedicated to the "Amsterdam citizens" for the year 1860. The card is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch printmaking and illustrates the continuing cultural impact of Rembrandt's masterpiece.
