Being something of a manhole-fancier myself (that sounds like an awful indictment so perhaps the German term
Kanaldeckel is better), I really appreciated being introduced to the urban artist called
Raubdruckerin by the fabulous
Nag on the Lake. This exhibitionist has made a circuit of dozens of cities to pirate the impressions of the signatures of the plumbing that lies underneath the asphalt but can really be iconic symbols of a place on to tee-shirts and tote-bags and just as representative as a skyline.
