Mons is a small city of fewer than 100,00 Belgians and is located in the Wallonia region. An industrial coal belt stretches across the country beginning at Mons in the west. This resource and its subsequent benefits benefitted the city quite well. It has a car-free historic center that is full of achingly beautiful structures. Similarly, this iron cover from 1870 fits the historic core quite well. The “water service” letterforms written in Baskerville, align with the dodecagonal surround in an evident hand-placed method. A polar array of increasingly scaled dots set within oblong darts surround a doily-like interior. The central pickpoint has morphed into the shape of the city environs.
