From [in a separate hand] "ME, ELOISE" [Kay Thompson signing as Eloise?]; pictorial boards show image registration error or offsetting to one of the color layers resulting in a vertical doubling and blurring of the portrait of Eloise in an oval frame on front and back cover such that she appears to have a second set of eyes in her forehead!
