| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:43 | comment | added | Sam Nead | Sorry - I think that the figure only appears in the original German edition (as a fold out panel) and in a 1993 reprint (also in German). | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 15:34 | comment | added | Sam Nead | Copied my comment on your previous question: There is a single figure, on the last page, in the German language edition of Klein's book. The figure is a lovely, labelled, rendering of the stereographic projection of the tiling of the sphere by (2,3,5) triangles. | |

Another example is E. Landau, who never included a picture in his books, and who lived in the same period and in the same country as Klein. | |
