A book of Rex Whistler's witty 'Reversible Faces', accompanied by satirical verses by his brother Laurence Whistler. The faces were first drawn by Rex in 1931-1932 as advertisements for Shell. In 1946 Laurence laid out the drawings and his poems into Oho! The book, like the faces, can be turned and read in both directions, with two front covers and two title-pages.
