Escher's "Angel-devil" drawing illustrates
a {4,4} tessellation in Euclidean geometry
Escher's "Heaven and Hell" wood carving illustrates
a {4,3} tessellation in spherical geometry
Escher's "Circle Limit IV" illustrates
a {6,4} tessellation in hyperbolic geometry
A tiling of the hyperbolic plane by black and white triangles.
This tiling exhibits a great deal of regularity, but it does not fit
our technical definition of a "regular tessellation"
