Can anyone help out with providing me with the following Escher, tessellation and puzzle material, either as originals, PDF or photocopies? As such, I have most of the popular Escher and tessellation books and I am looking to add to my library the somewhat more obscure articles and publications that are not so readily accessible to me. The following is an amended list taken from the bibliography of Visions of Symmetry by Doris Schattschneider and The World of M. C. Escher by J. L. Locher, and various Escher and tessellation articles not mentioned by Schattschneider and Locher (some subsequent to their respective publications).

From Abebooks (with corrections/omissions):
Shipley Art Gallery, Tyne and Wear. Produced for the first exhibition in England of Escher's work. The exhibition was first held at the Shipley Gallery, Gateshead and then in British galleries in Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham and Glasgow in 1978 and then two exhibitions in Ireland - the first at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Trinity College Dublin from 12 January - 10 February & finally The Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork from 20 Feb - 16th March, 1979. Includes text by Escher titled Approaches to Infinity. Illustrated with examples of his work.
As far as I can recall I am unfamiliar with the exhibition and by extension the list of Escher exhibits in the UK. And furthermore, this seems to fly in the face of the 2015 Dulwich exhibit as being the first, and even that is queried, by the Cartwright Hall Exhibit in Bradford, 1988?, described as (by Steve Manthorp, the curator):
Seeing is Deceiving, the Mathematics and Science of M C Escher, a touring interdisciplinary,
multimedia exhibition which broke the attendance record previously set by Sound & Fury
