First US and first UK editions respectively. Each is a brilliant copy in its original, near fine, unrestored dust jacket. Amazing examples of Newell's famous novelty books. Thirty-one numbered pages printed on rectos only, with a most wonderfully inventive full color drawings by Peter Newell on each page that can be viewed both right side up as well as upside down. When viewed upside down, the drawings are transformed into completely different images capable of standing on their own. All of the drawings have captions and when viewing the drawings upside down, the transformed drawings and captions respond to the original drawings. Internally the book is bright and clean and still tightly bound. First Editions. Oblong 16mo - 9-1/4" x 6-1/2". Housed in a custom-made collector's slipcase. We know of no other copies with the 120 year old dust jackets. Any 19th century dust jackets are rare, but for children's books surviving copy are nearly impossible to find. Codice articolo 1309029
