Abstract
THERE are two little boys in my circle (nephews, in separate families), who at an early stage in their attempts at drawing, have drawn things upside down. Thus a locomotive would be drawn with funnel pointing downwards, and wheels at the top of the figure. Has this peculiarity been noticed before, and is it common? It seems to me interesting in relation to the subject of erect vision, for the retinal image is, of course, inverted.
