It is dusk … or perhaps it is dawn. In this dark and secluded corner of an ancient castle, time stands still. All that matters to the man at work is that the spinning wheel in front of him keeps spinning; that the wisps of straw in his hand continue feeding through it; and that the golden coins continue flying off the wheel in a golden rainbow to clatter on the floor. This room full of straw must be transformed into a room full of gold before the sun has risen, or else the woman asleep on the floor will be beheaded by a greedy king, and the little man will lose the prize he has bargained for - her first born son.

On the back, it reads (in German): "The Grimm's Fairy Tale Collection painted by Charles Gehm for the city of Hanau, German Federal Republic, birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, in commemoration of the two hundredth anniversary of their birth." Also included on the back of the plate: the company logo for Konigszelt Bayern, the Seal of the City of Hanau, and the Seal (profiles) of the Brothers Grimm.
