This is a broadside, a type of printed sheet that was used to communicate news and announcements, dating from 1825-1830. Titled *Kermiswens door de krantenbezorgers te Amsterdam,* (Fair Wishes for the Amsterdam Fair) the work is attributed to Hermanus Numan and features a small woodcut depiction of the Amsterdam cityscape at the top. This type of broadside was common in the Netherlands in the 19th century and was often used to promote events and goods. The text of this broadside consists of a poem written in Dutch and is a wish of good fortune from the city's newsboys for a successful Amsterdam fair. The broadside is an interesting example of popular art from this period and provides insights into the lives of ordinary people in Amsterdam during the 19th century.
