Hand with Reflecting Sphere, lithograph, 1935. "A reflective sphere rests on the hand of the draftsman. He sees a much more complete picture of his surroundings in that mirror than through direct observation, because he sees almost the entire space around him: four walls, floor and ceiling of his room are , albeit distorted, compressed into that disk. His head, more precisely: the point right between his eyes, is in the center. No matter how he turns, he remains the center ." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 35,2 x 52,7 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

House of Stairs, lithograph, 1951. "A game element occurs that was already discussed in the regular division of the surface, the glide reflection. Almost the entire top half of the print is a mirror image of the bottom half. The top step, along which a creature descends from left to right, is even mirrored twice: in the middle and then again at the bottom. On the stairs in the upper right corner, the contrast between 'climbing' and 'descending' has been removed: two rows of animals go next to each other, but one rises and the other descends." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170grams paper. Packaged in cardboard tube. Paper size : 45 x 79,5 cm. Image size approx : 36,7 x 72,3 cm.

Liberation, lithograph, 1955. "On the uniform-gray surface of an unfurling strip of paper, a development takes place, from bottom to top, simultaneously in shape and contrast. Triangles, barely visible at first, turn into more complicated figures as their mutual color contrast increases. In the center they are completed as white and black birds. From here onwards they free themselves from each other and fly into the world as independent beings. That is why the paper strip on which they were drawn disappears." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 75 x 34 cm. Image size approx : 30 x 66 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Magic mirror, lithograph, 1946. "On a tiled floor there is a vertically mirrored screen, from which a mythical creature is born. It emerges piece by piece until a complete animal walks away to the right. His reflection moves to the left, but remains real for a moment, because it emerges from behind the reflective screen into reality. First they walk in single file, then two by two and finally both streams meet each other in rows of four. At the same time they lose their plasticity. They slide together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, fill each other's spaces and identify with the floor on which the mirror stands." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 65 x 55 cm, image size approx : 55,5 x 34,5 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

M.C. Escher’s Metamorphose I (1937) is a groundbreaking early example of his fascination with transformation and tessellation. This woodcut print marks the beginning of Escher’s exploration of gradual shape-shifting patterns, a theme he would refine in later works such as Metamorphose II and Metamorphose III. In Metamorphose I, geometric shapes transition seamlessly into recognizable figures, demonstrating Escher’s ability to blend mathematics with artistic creativity. The print captures the fluid evolution of form, guiding the viewer through a visual journey where boundaries between abstraction and reality dissolve. With its rhythmic progression and meticulous detail, Metamorphose I showcases Escher’s genius in visualizing continuous change within a structured framework. Printed in black and white on 170gram paper. Packaged in cardboard tube. Paper size : 90 x 25 cm. Image size approx : 83,5 x 18 cm.

M.C. Escher’s Metamorphose II (1939-1940) is a masterful exploration of transformation, symmetry, and visual continuity. This expansive woodcut print, spanning nearly four meters in length, takes viewers on a seamless journey through an evolving sequence of shapes and figures. Beginning with a simple checkerboard pattern, the design gradually morphs into intricate geometric tessellations, recognizable creatures such as fish and birds, and ultimately into architectural forms before looping back to its original state. Through this continuous metamorphosis, Escher challenges our perception of reality and the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Metamorphose II exemplifies his fascination with infinity, order, and the fluid relationship between mathematics and art, making it one of his most dynamic and captivating works. This 4,05 meter long poster is divided in 4 pieces of each approximately 103cm x 21,5cm. The image itself is about 20cm high. Shipped in a decorated tube. The pieces slightly overlap so please be careful when measuring for a frame.

Möbius II, woodcut from 3 blocks, 1963. "A closed, looped ribbon usually has two separate surfaces, one inside and one outside. On this strip, however, nine red ants follow each other and walk both the front and the reverse side. So the ribbon has only one surface." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in color on poster paper. Paper size: 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 27 x 58 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Plane Filling II, lithograph, 1957. "... They could also only be created after years of training with regular fillings. The recognizability of their components as natural objects plays an even more important role. Enjoyment in the difficult game, without symbolic ulterior motives, was the only real reason for their creation... The rectangularity of the entire surface is the only regularity that is still present here. Of the inner figures, only a few are bordered by four surrounding ones. The immediate environment of the frog consists of two figures; the guitar is bounded by three, the rooster by five, and the ostrich (if it is one) by six. The total number is only apparent after careful counting. " ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on poster paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 55,5 x 47,5 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Other World, wood engraving of three blocks, 1947. "The interior of a cube-shaped extension. Openings in the five visible walls offer a view of three different scenes. Through the upper pair one can see the ground, almost vertically downwards; the middle two are at eye level and show the horizon; through the lower pair, one looks steeply up at the stars. Each surface of this structure, which logically unites nadir, horizon and zenith, has a triple function. The rear surface in the center, for example, is a wall in relation to the horizon, a floor in relation to it the upper view and a ceiling with regard to the view of the starry sky." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in color on poster paper. Paper size: 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 41,5 x 50,5 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Print Gallery, lithograph, 1956. "[In this print an] enlargement towards the center, a ring-shaped expansion takes place, around the empty center, in the direction of a clock. At the bottom right we enter through a gate an exhibition gallery with prints on tables and on walls. First we pass a visitor with his hands behind his back and then, in the lower left corner, a young man who is already four times as big. His head has already expanded in proportion to his hand. He looks at the last print of a series on the wall and follows the details one by one: the boat, the water and the houses in the background. From there, his gaze continues to slide from left to right along increasingly larger blocks of houses down on the sloping roof that covers the exhibition gallery; that is where our tour began. The boy sees all these things as two-dimensional details of the print he is studying. Looking a little deeper, he sees himself, as part of the picture. " ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on poster paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 47,2 x 46,3 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Mud puddle, woodcut of 3 blocks, 1952. "The cloudless evening sky is reflected in a mud puddle left in the hollow of a forest road after a rain shower. Traces of two trucks, two bicycles and two pedestrians are imprinted in the marshy ground." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in color on 170gram paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 49 x 36,2 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.
