Cube with Magic Ribbons

Lithograph, × cm

Cube with Magic Ribbons is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in 1957. It depicts two interlocking bands wrapped around the frame of a cube. The cube framework by itself is perfectly possible but the interlocking of the bands within it is impossible. This print is significant for being the first Escher drawing to use a true impossible object.
