Escher, M.C. (1898-1972). "Ad summa nitens nihil consequor"

Woodcut on Japanese paper for XXIV Emblemata. Dat zijn zinne-beelden / spreukverzen van A.E. Drijfhout, 1932, monogrammed in block, 17.7 x 13.9 cm., framed (visible paper size 26.5 x 18 cm.).

Minimal brown stains across the entire surface. The size listed by PiCarta for the bookblock of XXIV Emblemata is only 23 x 19.5 cm. This is possibly a separate print (proof?).
