A long shot request but: I’m desperately trying to find Mosney brochures/prices from any time up to the 1970s, they’re surprisingly hard to find! I don’t need originals, photos would be grand - and I’d be grateful for reposts to reach more people #speirgorm

In the early 20th century, an Anglo-Irishman named Zarh Pritchard was living in Tahiti and decided that he really needed to paint the underwater scenes there. So he oiled up some paper, built an easel, got some fancy crayons, bought a diving suit, & created these scenes. Brief fame, now forgotten.
