NYC Manhole, Blue on White chevron • Roll: 27Overview Merenda created this pattern from rubbings on various NYC manhole covers, specifically covers made by foundries in NYC. Like the Native Americans whose culture and history lies beneath these manholes, the foundries near the turn of the 20th century are a thing of the past and do not thrive anymore. NYC manhole production is now outsourced and made in India. Measurements Each roll is 40" wide, available in 3 lengths: 9', 10'6", or 12' (54"
