These iron manhole and coalhole covers are part of the Cohill's collection
of 50, once destined for the landfill (in the 1960s) but rescued instead,
now displayed in a custom brick patio at their Amityville, Long Island home,
where they are safe forever! Tom and Toni graciously allowed photographer
Julia Bedriy to shoot some of the illumination-related covers. They have
two Rockwell covers, though both are sadly lacking the jewel.
The page in Diana Stuart's Designs Underfoot is noted
as "[DUpp]".
