Though the text of your article on “Crystal Symmetry and its Generalizations” is much too learned for a simple, self-made plane pattern-man like me, some of the text illustrations and especially Figure 7, gave me quite a shock. Since a long time I am interested in patterns with “motifs” getting smaller and smaller till they reach the limit of infinite smallness. The question is relatively simple if the limit is a point in the centre of a pattern. Also, a line-limit is not new to me, but I was never able to make a pattern in which each “blot” is getting smaller gradually from a centre towards the outside circle-limit, as shows your Figure 7. I tried to find out how this figure was geometrically constructed, but I succeeded only in finding the centres and the radii of the largest inner circles (see enclosure). If you could give me a simple explanation how to construct the following circles, whose centers approach gradually from the outside till they reach the limit, I should be immensely pleased and very thankful to you! Are there other systems besides this one to reach a circle-limit? Nevertheless I used your model for a large woodcut (CLI), of which I executed only a sector of 120 degrees in wood, which I printed three times. I am sending you a copy of it, together with another little one (Regular Division VI ), illustrating a line-limit case..
Letter from Escher to Coxeter 1958
![Page 40: Chris Budd - s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com … · 10/03/2020 · The Art of Maths. Chris Budd. Are art and maths that different? Celtic Art . The Book of Kells. Trinity College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050521/5fa45a92a305f419b633158d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
On December 29, 1958, Coxeter replied:
I am glad you like my Figure 7, and interested that you succeeded inreconstructing so much of the surrounding “skeleton” which serves to locatethe centres of the circles. This can be continued in the same manner. Forinstance, the point that I have marked on your drawing (with a red • on theback of the page) lies on three of your circles with centres 1, 4, 5. Thesecentres therefore lie on a straight line (which I have drawn faintly in red) andthe fourth circle through the red point must have its centre on this same redline. In answer to your question “Are there other systems besides this one toreach a circle limit?” I say yes, infinitely many! This particular pattern isdenoted by {4, 6} because there are 4 white and 4 shaded triangles comingtogether at some points, 6 and 6 at others. But such patterns {p, q} exist forall greater values of p and q and also for p = 3 and q = 7,8,9,... A different butrelated pattern, called <<p, q>> is obtained by drawing new circles throughthe “right angle” points, where just 2 white and 2 shaded triangles cometogether. I enclose a spare copy of <<3, 7>>… If you like this pattern with itsalternate triangles and heptagons, you can easily derive from {4, 6} theanalogue <<4, 6>>, which consists of squares and hexagons
