The division of waters (1925). Woodcut.

One of Escher's earlier works (part of the "Seven days of creation" series). I really like it for its stunning representation of volume, especially considering the technique used. It's a woodcut printed in black ink, so there are no shades, only black and white. It's pretty amazing...

Day and night (1938). Woodcut in black and grey (two blocks).
