Schroeder Stairs

 



Schroeder stairs (Schröder's stairs) is an optical illusion which is a two-dimensional drawing which may be perceived either as a drawing of a staircase leading from left to right downwards or the same staircase only turned upside down. It is named after the German natural scientist Heinrich G. F. Schröder, who published it in 1858. 

The Schroeder stairs appear in M. C. Escher's works "Relativity" and "Convex and Concave"
