"Nieuwjaarswens van de Amsterdamse courantombrengers voor het jaar 1853," created by Jacob Coldewijn in 1852-1853, is a Dutch broadside, a type of printed poster or leaflet, that depicts an illustration of Amsterdam's city hall surrounded by three medallions. These medallions depict the buildings of Amsterdam, reflecting the local context of the artwork. This artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. It was created for the new year 1853 by the Amsterdam newspaper carriers. The text on the broadside expresses good wishes and contains an inscription, suggesting the artwork's likely use as a celebratory, festive or propagandistic tool.
