Film and Stage.

Diving of all forms has been featured in many films. It is not the intention here to attempt to list all such products, but if something turns up where there is written or published material, this is the place  for it to be included. 

Please note: The books, material, are listed for interest only, and not offered for sale.

TO MASTER LIST

Early stage play, and movie film, features a diving scene. 
Note in the following contemporary review that R.H.Davis of Siebe Gorman Ltd, gets a mention and was apparently an advisor to the production team. 

The above review is an extract from Sir Robert Davis's book "A Few recollections of an Old Lambeth Factory and Its Vicinity Including Some Notes"; it may haver come initially from the Illustrated London News, October 2, 1897.

Lobby cards are similar to film (movie) posters but smaller, generally 11 ? 14 in (28 ? 36 cm), also 8 ? 10 in (20 ? 25 cm), before 1930. In the United Kingdom, sets of lobby cards are more typically referred to as "Front Of House" cards.They were used inside and outside of theatres, displayed in glassed boxes, to advertise the film currently on show and forthcoming screenings.

If we find any of interest, they will will be shown here. There must be hundreds of them relating to some for of diving or underwater scenes. Some images shown will be of low resolution as they would have been taken from the internet, but they give you some idea of what is available, and the films of course. Lobby cards are collectors items along with film posters and other movie memorabilia.
