  • Abstract
    Koloman Moser’s 1899 design Forellenreigen (Trout dance) may be the first published example of a tiling by animal shapes. In 1901, he published 29 periodic designs in Flächenschmuck (Surface Ornamentation). Here we analyze the wallpaper symmetries of these designs, noting in particular several instances of ambiguity.
