This is a lithograph by Friedrich Robert Prinz from 1848 - 1849, titled "Nieuwjaarswens van de Amsterdamse nachtwacht voor het jaar 1849". It's a charming New Year's greeting featuring a poem and vignettes depicting notable buildings in Amsterdam, such as the Westerkerk and the Oude Kerk, framed with ornate decorative elements.
