The etching was drawn onto the plate by the artist, proofed by Maurice Payne and printed by Piet Clement.
"below a high mountain at the edge of the forest, in the middle of nowhere, I saw a tiny house with a fire in front and a strange little man riding around on a cooking spoon. Every now and then he'd shout:
Today I dance tomorrow I travel
The Queen's child will soon be mine
No one will know from where I came
Or that RUMPELSTILZCHEN is my name. "
