Flatiron Building – Atlanta Black And White Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.

This Atlanta black and white canvas print features the Flatiron Building as it’s commonly known. Its official name is the English-American building, and it’s not just a smaller twin to New York City’s Flatiron, it’s the oldest surviving skyscraper in Atlanta. Built in 1897, it was actually the second skyscraper to be built in Atlanta. Although those first skyscrapers all seem small by today’s standards, don’t they?

The Atlanta Flatiron Building was also among my earliest subjects. When I heard that Atlanta had its own Flatiron, I wanted to see it and capture it. And I was not disappointed.

Although I don’t often work in black and white, there’s a great graphic sense to architecture like this that really pops in black and white. There’s a strong feeling of the design of the Flatiron and its neighbors in this print.
