I've looked at Escher prints for forty years and until I hung Escher's Italian lithograph 'Street in Scanno' on the wall near to his great illusionary print, 'Cycle' I never realized the close connections in composition between the two prints. One of the most exciting things for me is finding these connections as I travel along the path to understanding Escher's life's work. For some years  I've been writing about Escher's philosophy and his prints, I have finally finished a virtually complete catalog of our Escher collection including several commentaries on his work that you won't find elsewhere.   I'm pleased to say that the values of original works by Escher have continued to be very strong in today's challenging economy, and I would like to reccomend that you consider acquring an Escher original print while works like this are still available.
        All the best,
