Andersen wrote the poem <i>Jylland mellem tvende have (Jutland between two seas)</i>, which was put to music by the composer Peter Heise in 1860. A version was printed in the weekly <i>Illustreret Tidende</i> in 1860. The work has been seen as a somewhat solemn national declamation, but Andersen made these papercuts as a comment to the song, displaying a much more lighthearted approach.
