Here we see more of the 1904 vintage ornamental work from the IRT Times Square Station. Much of the original mosaics and Bas Reliefs were removed several years ago during a reconfiguration of the Station. Some of it has been moved to the modern entrance on the southeast corner of 42 Street. It would appear that some of the remaining examples have been removed or covered by structures built on the platform and corridors.

The mosaics that I came across in the NY subway system were amazing, thanks for sharing these!
