Description:

The collectible phone card features an artwork of the famous lithograph *Ascending and Descending* by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. The image depicts an impossible architectural staircase forming a continuous loop where a procession of small human figures endlessly ascend and descend the stairs. The drawing exemplifies Escher’s signature style of mathematical and architectural illusions, showcasing a stark contrast of black and white with detailed line work emphasizing the structure’s impossible geometry.

The phone card includes printed text identifying "M.C. Escher" and "Ascending & Descending (Building)" prominently. The card is associated with E.T.Tel Communications, as indicated by the logo and text on the card. The design highlights the building’s repetitive and paradoxical stairs with the figures in identical postures and attire, emphasizing the surreal and mind-bending quality of the artwork.

This card combines artistic sketches and architectural drawings in a collectible format, representing one of M.C. Escher’s most famous explorations of perspective and impossible spaces. The phone card’s presentation draws directly from Escher’s original artwork, making it a valuable piece for collectors interested in art, architecture, and visually intriguing designs.
