About this work
Sheet with scenes of life in the upside-down world, numbered 1 to 29 in five rows. Here, animals and humans exchange places, occupations shift from land to sea and vice versa, and the roles of parents and children, as well as masters and servants, are reversed. In the center, a "map" of the world. With inscriptions in Spanish. Copy after the engraving published by Nicolo Nelli in Venice, ca. 1560.
