Geocache Description:


M. C. Escher
(1898-1972)

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch artist who is known mostly for works that involve impossible constructions, mathematical figures, tessallations, and infinite concepts. He primarily created his art using woodcuts and lithographs as a medium, but also used mezzotints and good, old-fashioned pen and ink.

Below is a selection from his more famous works, in which you will find the numbers that will complete final coordinates. Upon finding this cache, you will obtain a pair of numbers that can be used to find the bonus cache, GC3CB69 - An Eternal Golden Braid. Good luck and happy hunting!
