Aus dem Leben des Meeres, Neue Photographische Gesellschaft, Berlin Steglitz 1912
»Wir lernen durch diesen Film eine grosse Anzahl Vögel, Fische und Seetiere kennen, ‒ natürlich freilebend. Silbermöve und Lumme, Dorsch, Merlan, Knurrhahn nebst einer längeren Reihe anderer, dem Laien meist unbekannter Fische, Krebse usw. belauschen wir in ihrem Leben und Treiben und können auch den oft spannenden Kämpfen ums Dasein vom sicheren Port aus behaglich zuschauen«
