WELCOME TO OUR
NEWEST AD SPONSOR AND LAMP DEALERS

We are very happy to announce our newest ad sponsor:

THE "MUST HAVE"
MOVIE POSTER CATALOG

Dominique Besson has just released his 2004 movie poster catalog. WOW! The images contained in this catalog of mostly European posters are truly breath-taking. There are also some very rare and one-of-a-kind posters featured. EVERY MOVIE POSTER COLLECTOR SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS CATALOG!

For more information on how you can get your copy, or to order any of Dominique's other catalogs, visit his website HERE.

NEW ARTICLES IN
REFERENCE SECTION

We have added some great new articles to LAMP's reference section.

Hammer Film Productions Limited - We could't have a "Halloween" themed LAMP Dealer Auction (see article on top right) without an article dedicated to one of the premiere producers of horror classics - Hammer Film Productions Limited. Although it is mostly associated with 1950's "B" horrors, Hammer actually began in 1936.

American Vitagraph Company - American Vitagraph Company, known just as "Vitagraph," was started in the late 1890's, primarily to compete with Thomas Edison. The three founding fathers were later joined by a fourth partner, William "Pop" Rock, who is credited with opening the first indoor theater expressly for the purpose of showing films here in New Orleans. You can find the American Vitagraph Company article in our "Early Studio" section.

Cosmopolitan Production - This early studio was formed in 1918 by William Randolph Hearst, primarily to promote the films of actress Marion Davies. You will find the article, Cosmopolitan Production, in our "Early Studio" section.
