Description

***NOTE- THIS PRINT IS MUCH SHARPER. 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 non mass produced
unmounted
20 x 30 inch (
includes narrow white margin, not seen, actual print is also sharper
) giclee
photo, that was printed with archival ink
from an original photograph of
a US Army Air Force B-18 light bomber squadron 193
9
(?) over Diamond Head Crater and Waikiki Beach Hawaii. It was taken by the military air recon 18th Air group at Wheeler Field, the bombers were most likely based at Hickam Field, near Pearl Harbor. Not much else known about the photo. (Some people suggest that it was produced by the military (not by us) in the darkroom for propaganda publicity purposes by sandwiching two negatives? and it also appeared on an invitation to a Christmas party at the Wheeler Air Base Officers Club? in the late 1930's).
The print does look sharper than the small sample here and doesn't have scan lines.
The seco
nd photo shows what it looks when
framed and displayed on a wall (sent to us by a customer
).
It was
shot with a professional copy stand and equipment on black and white negative film, a master print was made, and was scanned and printed using the digital process on long lasting Epson lustre professional paper with archival ink. The photo is shipped in a shipping tube by USPS. Included is a separate caption label with specific information about the photo that can later be displayed separately with the print or affixed to the back. This print when nicely framed sells for 0-450 at retail locations.
Please note:
It is also a little grainy as the original was shot on older black and white film, and when enlarged to 2ox30" is a little less sharper than a photo shot with a digital camera, it is still a beautiful historic and artistic image.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes aviation history, a
ir
planes,
Waikiki, or historic
images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.

***Please note that the contrast and brightness may vary slightly depending on your individual computer screen settings and because it is from a 35mm black and white  film negative it may appear to be a little grainy or not super sharp very close up because it is enlarged from film to a much larger size than the sample you see here. It will look sharper a few feet away and will look more like the the sample print you see here.
