Hey there, I'm trying to get ahold of some Escher pictures, and I can't seem to locate any anywhere. Could someone steer me in the right direction or even better send me a copy of what you've got. I believe I can handle most formats, but I'll be working with them on a Mac SE/30. Thanks in advance. Ed Gibler ENGLFZ@Jetson.uh.edu

I don't know where from they are taken from, probably from USA. Pictures are probably illegally copied. Have somebody done a 3D computer graphics pictures a la Escher? M. C. Escher is the artist which works I like very much. If you don't know who he is you have missed a lot; but probably you have seen his works but you just don't know his name. Juhana

Also, if you can read Microsoft Windows BMP format, cica.cica.indiana.edu has an excellent version of Escher's hands drawing in 640x480x256 resolution. I believe that wuarchive.wustl.edu has a few GIF's, but they are low resolution and fairly poor quality, as well as being annotated in a most distracting way. If you can't use these formats, I believe that there is a SUN based public domain GIF viewing program that runs under X Windows. Otherwise, I can't tell you much.
