The World of M.C. Escher

New York: Abradale Press, 1988. A fine/fine copy, quite pristine, bright and tight, of the 1988 issue of this book, which was first published in 1971. See scans (note: small white spots on scans are reflections from the glossy jacket, not flaws or wear). Quarto, 263 pp. Black cloth in illustrated jacket. 300 illustrations, 8 in color, from originals by Escher. Includes several substantial text sections explaining Netherlander Maurits Cornelis Escher a bit - his original small following, the precision and mathematical study which made him a favorite with technical admirers, and his own motivations and feelings about his unique brand of fractal and illusion-oriented art are all discussed. Handsomely preserved example. l-g3
