Talk:Bamforth & Co Ltd

It seems worth noting that the Bamforth "Kiss in the Tunnel" is an immitation of an earlier film produced by G.A. Smith and James Williamson of the Brighton school of filmmakers. The Smith/Williamson film was only a single shot, delivered to exhibitors with instructions to "cut" it into an existing film of a train going through a tunnel. The Bamforth version mimics the Smith/Williamson film almost exactly (common during the period before films were copyrighted and a specialty of the Bamforth company) but saved the exhibitors from having to cut the film themselves. So, first known film including cuts, but not the first film to usecuts. Might be too much information to include, but it doesn't seem right giving the Bamforth company full credit for that.

Bamforth postcards
Hi folks,

The article as it stands focuses almost entirely on the film element of Bamforth's history. They are much more widely known for their postcards - primarily WWI "song" cards and comic cards. As a keen collector of said cards, I would love to see some expansion in this area. But there is very little published material out there.

If, for example a page were to be added - "List of Bamforth Postcards" - and I were to list the cards and their reference numbers, would that count as original research? I am happy to commit work to this area, but could really do with a bit of a steer.

Many thanks, Jim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prehensile Tale (talk • contribs) 00:38, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
