Abstract

If we consider the 14-sided hyperbolic polygon of Felix Klein that defines his famous surface of genus 3, then we observe that we have a uniform, unifacial dessin whose automorphism group is transitive on the edges, but not on the directed edges of the dessin. We show that Klein's surface is the unique platonic surface with this property.
