Description

This is a fair quality hand printed silver halide gelatin photograph (not a digital inkjet print) custom printed in a darkroom from a copy negative, archivally developed in chemistry on Ilford 'Pearl' semi-matte surface black & white photographic paper,
cropped, and mounted on a dark 8x10 inch backing board
**which is part of the print that you can see here
(see photo)
with caption and photography information on the back of the Haleiwa Theatre, circa 1960's. It is is shrink wrapped to protect it from damage and has preservation tips and complete history included in the label on the back. Haleiwa theatre was a famous historic Oahu landmark and was built in 1932 in the 'art deco' style. The theatre was featured in our twice award winning "Haleiwa: A Pictorial History" book available at our e-Bay store. This is the last of a limited printing.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who may have went to the theatre, or likes historic building images of Hawaii.
They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
Originally the site of a taro patch and pig farm, it was very popular because there was no tv reception available for nearly forty years until cable TV came to the north shore in 1978. There were several other theatres on the north shore. (Koga, Waialua, Kahuku), but Haleiwa was one of the most popular. It was one of the first major landmarks anyone coming from Wahiawa to the north shore from Kamehameha Highway would see as they came down the hill. Afterwards, due to poor business and home video tape rentals, it fell into disrepair. It was partially torn down, unannounced, by an unscrupulous developer, at dawn on a Saturday morning in 1984 amid public protest as a historic landmark. By the time a stop order was issued it was irreparable. It is now the site of the Haleiwa McDonald's!  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.
Our hand printed silver halide gelatin original photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii.
We're proud to mention that many of our photos were used as background artwork in the new CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0".
The prints 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 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. Larger unmounted prints are also available, please inquire.

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 an original negative and margins may be slightly trimmed. **When it is cropped and attached to the single mat 8x10" backing board you will be able to see the dark backing board around the borders of the print. It makes the print look like there is a  margin around the edges of the photo.
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.
