Description

This is a rare, fair quality,
grainy
,
hand printed silver halide photograph, (not a digital inkjet print) custom printed in a darkroom from a copy negative from the original, archivally developed in chemistry on Ilford 'Pearl' surface semi-matte surface black & white photographic paper,
cropped, and mounted on an 8x10 inch black backing board
**which is included as part of the print that you can see here
,
with caption, and photography information on the back of Abe's Chevron service in the middle of Haleiwa town in the 1950's. It was a well known and popular service station.
If you lived on Oahu you may remember this establishment, it was one of the few old time service stations on the north shore. Only printed about 2-3 of these in 10 years. It is shrink wrapped to protect it from damage and has photography and preservation tips, and historical information included in the label on the back.
Please be aware that this photo is unlike newer computer digital prints because the original was shot on older grainy black and white film from a published photo and printed from a copy negative and when enlarged will look grainier.
It has the unique look of a silver halide gelatin photo, and is still a very nice historic and artistic print.
This photo would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who has lived in this area or likes historic building images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
Our hand printed silver halide gelatin original and reproduction photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii. The photos are the 'old style' traditional film based images printed using an enlarger from a negative on real photographic paper and archivally processed by hand, not by a machine. Prices are less than you would pay retail at a gallery  print and production costs are lower than most folks so we want to offer affordable quality art for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Larger unmounted prints are also available, please inquire.

:
e-Bay's transfer process and the computer screen makes the photo look contrasty and slightly darker or lighter, depending on your monitor brightness and contrast settings. This photo is printed on non-glossy semi-matte 'pearl' surface paper and the photo offered has more gray tones, deep, richer blacks, less contrast, and has the unique look of a real silver halide gelatin print, which has a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen
. When it is attached to the single mat 8x10" backing board you will be able to see the backing board color around the borders of the print. It makes the print look like there is a margin around the edges of the photo which you can see here.
Prints are permanently mounted to the acid free backing board using an archival photo adhesive and cannot easily be removed from the backing board without damaging the photo.
An 11x14 inch frame (or larger) with a custom cut mat from a frame shop or art store is the suggested way to display this photo. If you want to use a larger frame and mat and you can't find an experienced framer who knows how to do it, contact us and we can provide information explaining how it can be done. This is recommended for best visual and artistic impact in displaying this photo, although many people are happy using a standard 8x10" frame and displaying the image as is.
