Horse with his head where the tail should be

Puzzle

Among the curious things which Mother Goose tells the young folks they will see in Wonderland, nothing in the entire category of her jingling rhymes excites the juvenile mind more than the description of the monstrosity of the "Horse with his head where the tail should be."

The very suggestion is so inconceivably funny and gives such scope for flights of imagination that it will be a grand puzzle to discover who can make the best transformation, according to the well-known lines: See! see! what shall I see ? A horse's head where his tail should be.

We reverse the order of things in this puzzle, and will put the cart before the horse so as to give the answer showing the horse's head where his tail ought to be; now exercise your artistic ability and make a sketch showing the simplest way to transform the picture and place things where they belong.
