    Description

    You are bidding on a very rare set of 15 World Trade Center Construction Prints in a commemorative portfolio. The prints are by Nicholas Solovioff and Lili Rethi. Many of the prints include the date 1967. A separate "Print Titles" list is included in the portfolio: The following is a list and description of each of these incredible prints.  #1. World Trade Center site looking towards south. #2. Construction of concrete perimeter wall. #3. View of excavation looking south, with PATH tubes in background. #4. West side of World Trade Center excavation. #5. Start of steel erection for Tower A, looking south. #6. Kangaroo cranes erect tower B. Tower A to left. #7. View of lobby and mezzanine in tower A. #8. Escalator construction from concourse down to PATH. #9. Steel columns prepared for mounting plaza. #10. Ceiling and wall construction for lobby in tower A. #11. Side view of St. Paul's chapel, tower A in back. #12. View of excavation from Liberty and Greenwich Streets. #13. Steel erection of Custom House and other plaza building. #14. Steel erection, fireproofing steel, and aluminum skin being installed on Tower A. #15. Koenig sculpture being installed in tower A, surrounded by fountain. The cobalt blue portfolio cover is in good condition; it has a few minor creases and dings. The prints are in very good to excellent condition.  There is a small crease and some lite wear on print #1 and a larger crease on the upper left of print #15. All the prints measure approximately 18 inches by 12
    inches for the actual image; with margins, they measure approximately 18 1/2 inches by 12 1/2 inches. Please check all the photos as they are the prints being sold. I tried my best to show the whole collection in one photo which covered my massive dining room table. They will be securely packaged and shipped USPS with tracking and shipsurance.
    With so many different
    perspectives on 9/11 many people look at the heroes and victims, the reaction of the country and the consequences, these prints offer an opportunity to take a different tack — to focus on the buildings. A remembrance of the mighty structures rising above lower Manhattan and creating that beautiful sky line.  Since we have risen a new and mighty building in the old footprint, these prints will serve a tremendous reminder of the past which will always remain a part of us.
