The dual polyhedra of the Archimedean solids , given in the following table. They are known as Catalan solids in honor
of the Belgian mathematician who first published them in 1862 (Wenninger 1983, p. 1).
Here are the Archimedean duals (Pearce 1978, Holden 1991) displayed in the order listed above (left to right, then
continuing to the next row).
Here are the Archimedean solids paired with the corresponding Catalan solids.
