Abstract

ABSTRACT Renovators of old buildings sometimes discover concealed inscriptions made by past tradesmen. They are a means of communicating with fellow workers and posterity and passing on the traditional culture of the building trade. This article investigates a collection of graffiti created by early nineteenth-century plumbers. It explores how and why these marks were made -in celebration of tradesmen's skills - and deduces their meanings, with particular relevance to the noxious and dangerous trade of plumbing. It analyses how these values are reflected in other surviving English plumbers’ material culture and outlines the wider use of working-class graffiti.

圣威尔弗里德教堂塔楼的涂鸦——管道工的标记
旧建筑的翻新者有时会发现过去的商人留下的隐藏的铭文。它们是与同事和后代交流的一种手段,也是传承建筑行业传统文化的一种手段。这篇文章调查了19世纪早期管道工创作的涂鸦集。它探讨了这些标志是如何以及为什么被制作出来的——为了庆祝工匠的技能——并推断出它们的含义,特别是与有害和危险的管道行业有关。它分析了这些价值观如何在其他幸存的英国水管工的物质文化中得到反映,并概述了工人阶级涂鸦的更广泛用途。
