"Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse nachtwacht voor het jaar 1855" is a 1855 lithograph by Friedrich Robert Prinz depicting the Amsterdam Night Watch, a famous painting by Rembrandt. The print features the painting surrounded by decorative elements, and includes a poem about the Night Watch and its significance. This work was likely commissioned by the city of Amsterdam to celebrate the Kermis, an annual fair, and could have been used as a postcard or advertisement. The artist's choice to include the Night Watch suggests his recognition of its importance to Amsterdam's cultural heritage.
