Mixed Moss - Capsized and Dismasted Illustration printed upside down

The Mixed Moss article "Missing" says that the illustration "Capsized and Dismasted" is permanently printed uspide down.  My copy of Winter Holiday printed in May 1944 shows Dick's legs sticking up in the air and headfirst into the snow, which to me seems correct.  Which printings are upside down? 

You're right! I've checked my two copies (hard back 1969 and paperback 1974) and they both have the picture the right way up.

I don't think that there is any edition where the picture is printed the other way up, reading my Mixed Moss, I understood Gabriel Woolf as suggesting that it was his personal opinion that the picture looked better the other way up and therefore again only in his opinion (and not AR's) the picture was always printed upside down as that was how AR had drawn it.

I do think that he had some other interesting comments to make about the pictures in his article but I don't really agree with that one.

I think you have misunderstood Gabriel. The picture is printed the right way up, and always has been. He says he prefers it the wrong way up. The quote on p.69 ("capsized .... with Dick's legs sticking up") is from a long letter from AR to Wren Howard, his publisher at Cape, when it was clear he had sent four more pictures to the printer than were expected. He thought this one was the best candidate to be dropped. The letter goes on, "I only let it go because I had nowt better, and because a small girl liked it." The whole thing is in the context of him being very dissatisfied with his own efforts at illustration. But he gives no indication it should be the other way up.

Six months earlier, when the subject first came up, he had written to Howard, "I am not at all sure that I ought to illustrate more books. There were special reasons in Peter Duck when the badness of the pictures was actually helpful. But in realistic books like Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale and the new one, I am very doubtful about it." So all of his efforts gave him grave misgivings.

Remember this is in 1933. SA and SD didn't get Ransome illustrations until 1938.
