Yet another variation in lightning cartooning is provided by the ability of the artist to produce pictures which, when turned upside down, show exactly the same view.

Yet a further pleasing addition to the entertainment may be made by sketching such a scene as [Fig. 16] suggests, afterwards over-coloring with white the part representing the sea, and also the jutting rock marked A up to the dotted line; then turning the whole picture on end, blacking in on the whitened portion windows and doors, as shown in [Fig. 17]. The result will be “The House on the Cliff.”
