Early Kodak Camera mounted albumen photograph of ten (10) soldiers in uniform, c. 1890’s. With backmark “MANUFACTURERS OF THE KODAK CAMERA THE EASTMAN COMPANY” VG. Young bank clerk George Eastman founded a company in 1880 to manufacture photographic dry plates in Rochester, New York. He obtained financing and engaged in research with a goal of simplifying photography. His breakthrough, in 1883, was the creation of film in roll form, for the first time allowing multiple exposures with a single loading. In 1888 he created a small plain black box camera that had a pushbutton to take pictures and a key to advance the film. Sold pre-loaded with a roll of 100 shots, this was the first Kodak camera.
