Quoted from the book, The Magic Mirror, by Bruno Ernst, Taschen Books, page 81

Born in a Mirror
In the lithograph Magic Mirror (1946), Escher takes things a step further. Not only is there a reflected image but it is even suggested that the reflections come to life and continue their existence in another world. This calls to mind the mirror world from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, stories that greatly delighted Escher!
On the side of the mirror nearest to the viewer we can see, under the sloping stay, a tiny wing appearing together with its mirror image. As we look further along the mirror there gradually emerges a fully winged dog. Yet this is not all, for its mirror image is growing similarly; and as the real dog moves away from the mirror so does the mirror dog on the other side. On arrival at the edge of the glass this mirror image appears to take on reality. Each line of animals doubles itself twice as it moves forward and so these lines together make a regular space-filling in which white dogs develop into black ones, and vice versa.
Both realities multiply and merge into the background.
