C. Escher]]. This work was first printed in February, [[1923]]. Escher had been fascinated by the glowing outlines of ocean waves breaking at night and this image depicts the outlines made by a school of dolphins swimming and breaching ahead of the bow of a ship. The glow was created by bioluminescent dinoflagellates. ==Sources== *Locher, J.L. (2000). ''The Magic of M. C. Escher''. [[Harry N.
