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 of the prints feature the twin towers as the main subject matter. Others show broader views of the towers that include the Statue of Liberty and other landmarks. Prints are available in color or black and white. Some are photographic prints, while others show artists' renditions of the views. Artistic works have been created to suit just about every taste.

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.

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.

To truly appreciate the Center's magnitude and meaning you should visit the memorial at ground zero. It is truly inspiring. For those of us who are not able to make the trip, visit the website to see the memorial that pays tribute to all those who lost their lives on Nine Eleven or during the aftermath and rescue efforts. The emotions that will be evoked while visiting the memorial can be overwhelming. This event cannot and will not be forgotten. Thanks to photographers and artist, we can remember what was and reflect on what remains.
