  • he Kodak camera was the invention of
    an American, George Eastman (1854-1932).
    It was a simple, leather-covered wooden
    box – small and light enough to be held
    in the hands. Taking a photograph with
    the Kodak was very easy, requiring only
    three simple actions; turning the key
    (to wind on the film); pulling the
    string (to set the shutter); and
    pressing the button (to take the
    photograph). There wasn’t even a
    viewfinder - the camera was simply
    pointed in the direction of the subject
    to be photographed. The Kodak produced
    circular snapshots, two and a half
    inches in diameter.
