(W. small ex libris ticket on upper paste-down, but in excellent condition). NOTE:"The regular division drawings of M.C. Escher are considered an important part of his artistic work. He made about 150 basic drawings of regular divisions, some of which were used later in his prints. In almost all of these drawings, it is the tile, the motif, that plays the leading role. However, there are a few exceptions. In his own definition of regular division of the plane, given in Regelmatige vlakverdeling Escher says that the tiles should fit tightly together on all sides, so that there is no space between them. In other words, the joint, the grout, the layer of mortar used by bricklayers to cement each stone to an adjacent stone, separates them in practice, but can theoretically be reduced to nothing. Mathematicians would call these joints “edges” of the tiling; edges are never considered to have any width." (Abstract from R. Roelofs 'Not the Tiles, but the Joints: A little Bridge Between M.C. Escher and Leonardo da Vinci'. In: 'M.C. Escher's legacy', (2003). - Printed in a limited and numbered edition of 175 copies, this copy being nr. 32. - Very fine copy. St. De Roos 45; Bool, 416-421.

Signature by ? Transcript/copy written on vellum (r° & v°) of a renewal of a grant in which Joseph de la Penja (Penha) is said to be the rightful owner of 'Labrador', 'Cortereal' and 'Estoliland' (Canada). NOTE:Joseph de la Penha (1658-1731), or Penja as it is written in this document, was a Rotterdam Sephardi merchant, ship-owner, and financier of privateers. He claimed Labrador for England in 1677. When he saved the life of King William III 20 years later, the king granted Labrador to De la Penha. From the internet: “According to records secured by the descendants of the De La Penha family in Canada and in London, King William the Third of Britain was saved from drowning in a shipwreck in 1695 by Joseph De La Penha, an Amsterdam Jewish merchant. In gratitude King William gave De La Penha hereditary tenure forever of Labrador. This grant was legalized in 1697 in a document signed at Het Loo Palace in Holland and renewed in 1732 and 1768 (our document), (…)". The grant is written in English and the 'renewal' on v° in Dutch.
