PANCIPANCI STORE ORIGINAL '78 SILVER HALIDE PHOTO HAND PRINTED ON 8X10" MATT

Description

***NOTE- MOST PRINTS ARE MUCH SHARPER, WITH BETTER COLOR & SATURATION. WE ARE HAVING AN EBAY CAUSED ERROR: POOR  SHARPNESS, COLOR, & RESOLUTION PROBLEMS WITH THE PHOTO YOU SEE HERE. IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR EBAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM - SORRY. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS!
This is a fairly rare, very good quality original hand printed silver halide gelatin photograph (not a digital inkjet print) custom printed by long time Hawaii professional photographer Bill Romerhaus in a darkroom from the original negative, 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
, (see photo), with photography information on the back of the Panci Panci Store circa 1978, previously known as Lantaka Store.
It is an older building in Haleiwa built in the 'plantation style' and was a typical mom and pop store in this location for about 20-30 years, went thru several retail business changes in the past four decades, and presently is the site of Tropical Rush and the Rainbow Gift Shop.
It is initialed and dated on the front of the photo, and is shrink wrapped to protect it from damage and has preservation tips included in the label on the back. **Note: It is just a tad off centered on the board.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes this area or historic 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 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 are being used as background artwork in the  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. It is also available as a giclee print up to 24 x 36 inches, please inquire or check out our e-Bay store.

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. **When it is cropped and 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. We want to make sure you know exactly what you are buying so we hope our thorough description of these photos will answer all your questions before you purchase
