While many Boy Scout cameras were produced, fewer models existed for female scouts. Chicago’s Herbert George Company made this easy-use box camera with an eye-level viewfinder.
Handheld Cameras
In 1888, George Eastman opened the field of photography to casual enthusiasts with the introduction of the handheld Kodak camera.
Unlike earlier, more cumbersome cameras using glass-plate negatives, the Kodak came preloaded with a roll of flexible film and was returned to the manufacturer for developing and printing. Men, women, and children embraced the new technology and the opportunity it gave them to document their everyday lives.
