SILOAMA CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH KALAUPAPA MOLOKAI HAND PRINTED PHOTO ON 8x10" MAT

Description

This is a quality glossy lithograph with UV coating on thick paper from a copy negative from the original, cropped, and mounted on a single 8x10 inch backing board and
**includes mat  margins as part of the print that you can see here (see photo) and is not a mat board cutout
, with caption and photography information on the back of the Siloama Congregational church with Father Damien's Saint Philomena Catholic church in the background at Kalaupapa Peninsula on the north side of the island of Molokai. Circa 1880's. This is a popular historic photo.  Both churches are at the leprosarium of Kalawao on the north west side, which was totally isolated from the outside world because of the public’s unfounded fear that leprosy was a highly contagious disease
.
Today, with modern medicine, the disease has been eradicated, and the few remaining members of the colony are living out their last days at the settlement.
Please be aware that this photo is unlike newer computer digital prints because the original was shot on older black and white film and printed from a copy negative, when enlarged will look grainier, and has some minor imperfections that you can't see here. It has the unique look of a black and white photo, and is a very nice historic and artistic print.
It is shrink wrapped to protect it from damage and has preservation tips and history included in the label on the back.
The image would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes historic or church 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, lithographic, giclee,  and reproduction photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii. 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.
. Larger unmounted prints are available, please inquire.
