World Trade Center Prints: Past And Present

By Mattie Knight


Every American recalls that fateful day, September 11, 2001. Most people remember where they were and what they were doing the moment they heard the news. Thankfully there are many World Trade Center Prints available depicting the Center before the planes struck the world renowned buildings in New York City. Naturally, there have been many more prints and works of art created showing the Center as it is today.

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.

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 that show the memorial built in the ground where the towers once stood are just as meaningful. War and terrorism are destructive and tragic, yet somehow the worst of times brings out the best in men and women. Efforts to divide people can have the effect of creating a new unity among those very same people. All the artwork memorializing this location before and after the tragic events of nine eleven prove the coming together of many minds with common thoughts.

The twin towers were architectural works of art. Reproduced art work is available of the towers in the process of being built. These are amazing views and show what can be done when people with talent, imagination and engineering skills combine their efforts. Close up detailed views can be very interesting and unique. Far off views are ominous when you think the towers no longer exist.

A trip to New York City is not complete without a visit to the memorial. This is a powerful, evocative experience. This day and this place will never be forgotten. The prints, posters and original works of art depicting the site will keep the memory alive for generations to come.
