About this item

This 1918 plaque depicts an original building of Kings College, chartered in 1754, with two robed students in the foreground. At the time of independence from England, the college changed its name to Columbia College.

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.
