Authentic Historical Products
At Buy History Prints we stock a large selection of original 18th, 19th and 20th century prints, books and ephemera covering diving, nautical and aviation. The subjects range from early to modern diving, marine life, mermaids, the Navy, naval and merchant ships, sailing, lifeboats and aviation. All can be viewed and purchased through our website. Most books are second hand, and we endeavour to give a full condition description as they range from reading copies to items in excellent condition. We also stock a small number of new books and prints.
The stock is constantly changing, so it is advisable to check the site which is regularly updated.

About Me
Hi, I’m Kevin. I had a career as a commercial diver spanning four decades from 1975. I have always had an interest in history and from this developed an interest in the history of diving which inspired my private collection of prints, books and ephemera on the subject. From this interest I developed my collection into the business Buy History Prints. Based in Gosport, Hampshire in the UK, Buy History Prints has been my passion for over 35 years.
