NICHOLAS SOLOVIOFF & LILI RETHI WORLD TRADE CENTER CONSTRUCTION PRINT SET 1967

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.
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 the beautiful sky line.  These prints  serve as a tremendous reminder of the past which will always remain a part of us.
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.

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 was difficult due to their collective size. They will be securely packaged and shipped USPS with tracking and shipsurance.
