The miniature lithograph of Pick and Shovel Laborer was one of only two chosen by Another Rainbow for a three-dimensional experiment … sculpting the image of Uncle Scrooge in a bas relief effect that was taken from Japanese technology (the other was A Christmas Trimming, which also had a reflective ink glitter simulating falling snow that was applied to the surface). The results were undeniably impressive, though virtually invisible in the catalog and to casual inspection by the naked eye when framed under glass .Pick and Shovel Laborer is a classic portrait of Uncle Scrooge that takes us inside the old duck’s money bin to perhaps catch him lecturing the nephews, “You’d love your money, too, if you got it the way I did -- by being tougher than the toughies, and smarter than the smarties. And I made it square!”
