About this item

The decorative plaque in this station commemorates the successful Hudson River launch of the North River Steam Boat by steamship entrepreneur Robert Fulton. It was made by Rookwood Pottery for the station which opened in 1905..

Images of the ceramic mosaics and plaques of the New York subways are chemically imbedded into our tiles. This process makes it possible to capture the detail and color of these pieces despite the decades of accumulated grime and muted subway lighting. We couldn't climb up and wash the panels, but properly lighted and photographed, they do come alive!

Decorative, high-glaze ceramic tile with metal hanger on back.

Measures 6 x 8 inches
