A chapter in M.C. Escher’s Legacy, 2003, pp 393-407 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract M.C. Escher’s fascination with “regular division of the plane” is well documented both by his artistic works and numerous texts and articles. In his own words, A plane, which should be considered limitless on all sides, can be filled with or divided into similar geometric figures that border on each other on all sides with leaving any “empty spaces” This can be carried on to infinity according to a limited number of systems. ([1, p. 156]; also see [3, p. 15])
