RARE OR&L MAIN STATION 1900'S HAND PRINTED 8x10 INCH SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPH

Description

This is a very rare fair but older quality hand printed silver halide gelatin photograph custom printed in a darkroom from a copy negative from the original, archivally developed in chemistry on Ilford 'Pearl' semi-matte surface black & white photographic paper,
cropped and mounted on a single 8x10 inch backing board
**which is included as part of the print that you see here
(see photo)
, with caption and photography information on the back of the main OR&L train station at downtown Honolulu 1900+? More history about the Oahu Railway & Land Company is included in the caption on the back of the photo. 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. Rare: We only printed 2-3 of these about 10 years ago.
Please be aware that this photo is unlike newer computer digital prints because the original was shot on older grainy black and white film 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 when framed, sells for much more and i
t
would make a great gift for someone who likes this area or collectible historic railroad images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
In the near future real black and white silver halide photographic paper will cease to be available as manufacturers phase out production because of digital photography and we won't be printing these by hand in the darkroom forever.
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. P
rices are about 30% less than you would pay retail at a gallery or custom photo lab for a hand printed and mounted silver halide black and white 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.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE
:
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. You may be able to see small imperfections on larger images as these are printed by hand 'as is' and are not retouched. We do however try to crop and correct them so they look best. It is printed on 8x10 inch paper from a copy negative and margins are trimmed to fit.
**When it is attached to the single mat 8x10" backing board you will be able to see the backing board 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 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. We want to make sure you know what you are buying so we hope our thorough description of these photos will answer all your questions before you purchase. We can also print this in larger sizes, please inquire.
