The illustrations above show a number of hyperbolic tilings, including the heptagonal once related to the Klein quartic.
Escher was fond of depicting hyperbolic tilings, including "Circle Limit I" (Bool et al. 1982, p. 319), "Circle Limit III" (Bool et al. 1982, pp. 97 and 320), and "Circle Limit IV" (Bool _et al._1982, pp. 98 and 322).
