World Trade Center Prints: Past And Present

By Mattie Knight


To this day, pictures of the twin towers under attack evoke strong feelings that run the gamut of outrage to inspiration. The incredible array of World Trade Center Prints is evidence of the power of this sad day in American history. It is difficult to say which is more meaningful, images of the Trade Center before or after that fateful day in September 2001.

Some prints focus specifically on the once grand twin towers. In other images they are merely a part of the background and other landmarks like the Statute of Liberty or the Brooklyn Bridge are more prominent. The art is available in stark black and white images or vividly colored paintings. If you want an image of the Center, there is no doubt you will find a print you like.

Happily, there is a price to accommodate every budget. You can order a poster online for as little as thirteen dollars. For art lovers with grander budgets there are limited edition reprints for a few thousand dollars. Broad views or close up detailed images are all intriguing and beautiful.

An important part of displaying a treasured print is the presentation. Some websites allow the shopper to view the selected print with various combinations of matting and frames. The print of your choice can be presented with modern or more traditional touches. Using this feature allows you to hang the artwork as soon as shipment is received.

These prints are extremely popular. The range of sizes is almost unlimited. The smaller sized work can be framed with a ready made frame. Large panoramic views may not be suited to framing and can be mounted on a board or backside frame. This method of finishing the artwork will result in a modern style and make s strong visual impact.

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.
