Barry Lopez's "Horizon"

After some months and several disappointments, I'm delighted to finally have a copy of Barry Lopez's Horizon (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, stated First Edition; 2019). I'm surprised however to see that images on the front end-papers look to be upside down; the same images on the rear end-papers appear to be right-side up. I'm curious:

• whether this is a standard condition for this title or if we have a publisher error; and
• what you've thought of Lopez's work in general, and this work in particular. Best regards!

ETA members who've joined prior talk about this work: dhm, southernbooklady, lisapeet, lalbro, drneutron, featherbear, bryanoz, mollygrace, charl08, and Chatterbox. Thanks!

Bump?
