World Trade Center Prints: Past And Present

By Mattie Knight


Even before September 11, 2001, this part of Manhattan was a well known New York landmark. World Trade Center Prints predating this event show the impressive twin towers reaching towards the sky. More recent images show the inspirational memorial that has taken their place. Whatever date the prints were created, this location continues to capture the imagination of many.

In pictures that predate 2001, the twin towers are frequently the focal point of the photographic and artistic images. Other times the broader shots show the towers as background images demonstrating how much a part of the Manhattan landscape they were. The artwork is available in vibrant color or completely devoid of color. Prints with color or lack of color are available to please almost any preference.

The price of the prints start around thirteen dollars, while limited replications of works of art may cost three thousand dollars and more. Views range from the Brooklyn Bridge with the twin towers in the background to the firemen raising the American flag during the first stages of recovery at ground zero.

Any work of art should be presented thoughtfully with the appropriate frame and mat. If you are looking for a print, some websites offer the feature of virtually framing the picture. Based on your choices, the print will arrive ready to hang on your wall to become a part of your home or office. Framing artwork in this manner can also be less expensive than going to a professional framer.

The artwork comes in sizes to suit the available wall space. There are panoramic shots or smaller sizes that will fit right into an off the rack eight by ten frame. Calendars are available in desktop or wall sizes that feature a different views of the towers for each month. There is no denying the significant role these buildings have played in our history.

Prints of the memorial are breath taking. The images are powerful and provoke all kinds of emotion. The tragic events that took place have brought people together in support of those who suffered a direct loss of loved ones. It is almost too painful to even glance at photos of the burning towers with people jumping to their deaths to avoid the flames. However, the towers and the memorial are still positive images.

The World Trade Center shows what can be created when engineering and imagination come together. Detailed close up images are as beautiful as the far off views that show the towers in the background. The absence of these buildings still leaves a hole in the collective heart of Americans.

A personal visit to ground zero is similar to a pilgrimage to a sacred place in the sense that the experience can be spiritual. The memorial is grand and inspires feelings of patriotism. The very act that was intended to and did cause destruction also had the effect of creating a sense of harmony and commonality among Americans. Images of the World Trade Center before and after that tragic day in September are equally beautiful. The vast number of prints available are proof of the great number of photographers and artists who were touched by the architecture and the events.
