Nieuwjaarswens van de brandblussers en turfdragers van Haarlem voor het jaar 1846 1845 - 1846

This is a New Year's greeting from the fire brigade and peat carriers of Haarlem for the year 1846. The artwork is a broadside, a single sheet of paper with text and sometimes an illustration. The image depicts a fire in Haarlem, illustrating the work of the fire brigade. This broadside is a testament to the civic pride and community spirit of the people of Haarlem in the 19th century. It is an example of "brandblussers" (fire brigade) and "turfdragers" (peat carriers) working together to protect their city from fire. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
