In 1900, Brückner collected many of his specimens into the book Vielecke und Vielflache, Theorie und Geschichte, or “Polygons and Polyhedra, Theory and History,” which dives into great detail about the mathematically exact, three-dimensional shapes. His discoveries include beautifully complex forms known as the final stellation of the iscosahedron and the compound of three octahedra, the latter of which M.C. Escher incorporated into his 1948 wood engraving, “Stars.”
