Here is the entire array of fourteen heraldic shields above the entrance to 20 West 51st Street. My thanks to John Shannon, Chairman of the Heraldry Committee, NYG&B, for this photo. See yesterday's post for the full story.
The heraldic shields, as represented here, harmonize and balance each other so well - would that all countries could follow suit. Thanks for these two posts.
I have lived in Manhattan for 30 years; I work as a writer and am a licensed NYC sightseeing guide, both of which give me the opportunity to research and write about the city I love.

Thanks for the good words, Tom. These really are quite beautiful in a subdued kind of way. I'll be posting more in a day or two.
