Published within Rackham's illustrated edition of Hans Andersen's Fairy-Tales in 1932, a work described by Hamilton as "ideal - even the classic - late Rackham". This drawing was originally reproduced on page 125 as a black and white drawing for "The Steadfast Tin Soldier". The publishers of the book sent Rackham and his wife to Denmark for a week in November 1931 "to collect Danish atmosphere for the book", as stated by Hamilton. In a letter Rackham wrote that "Copenhagen is a very beautiful city. Lots of water, ships, fishing boats, quays - everywhere. It is rather fatiguing to me. I have to talk so much and behave myself so well all the while taking notes and notes for dear life". Ink and watercolour drawings generally command higher prices than pen and ink drawings. Rackham, ever the commercial artist, frequently reworked his black and white drawings and, as in this example, occasionally added detail. The published version shows the steadfast tin soldier in a paper boat. The reworked illustration has indistinct lines of newsprint added to the boat made out of a piece of newspaper.
