The George Glazer Gallery has loaned two early 19th-century maps of New York City to the exhibition Forged by Fire, organized by India House to honor the anniversary of September 11, 2001. The exhibition documents the history of Hanover Square, "New York's First World Trade Center" and New York's victory over disaster in previous generations. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an 11-foot iron anchor unearthed during construction of the World Trade Towers in the late 1960s, shown with art and artifacts documenting fires that destroyed large areas of Lower Manhattan in 1776, 1835, 1845 and 1853. These events from New York's history are presented as an inspiration to Lower Manhattan's regeneration in the 21st century.
