Topsys & turvys
Topsys & Turvys is a children's picture book by Peter Newell, published in New York by The Century Co. in 1893 and printed by Gast Lithograph & Engraving Company, with verses that are printed upside down so that each page must be turned to be read. The pictures are flat, colour-lithographed scenes with thin outlines, muted pastel fills and comic exaggerated faces, and a designer might take from them the economy of simple shapes, limited palettes and a deadpan, off-kilter humour.
