As the unique smallest [[cubic graph]] of [[girth (graph theory)|girth]] 8, it is a [[cage (graph theory)|cage]] and a [[Moore graph]]. It is [[bipartite graph|bipartite]], and can be constructed as the [[Levi graph]] of the [[generalized quadrangle]] ''W''<sub>2</sub> (known as the [[Cremona–Richmond configuration]]). The graph is named after [[William Thomas Tutte]] and [[H. S. M. Coxeter]]; it was discovered by Tutte (1947) but its connection to geometric configurations was investigated by both authors in a pair of jointly published papers (Tutte 1958; Coxeter 1958a). All the [[cubic graph|cubic]] [[distance-regular graph]]s are known.<ref>Brouwer, A. E.; Cohen, A. M.; and Neumaier, A. Distance-Regular Graphs. New York: Springer-Verlag, 1989.</ref> The Tutte–Coxeter is one of the 13 such graphs. It has [[Crossing number (graph theory)|crossing number]] 13,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Pegg |first1=E.
