Context

Period: Unknown
Canada: Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.
Function: To record still images on photographic film.
Technical: A self-erecting folding roll film camera that produced 2¼ X 3¼ inch images on 120 film using a meniscus achromatic lens and a kodo shutter (Coe, 147). The No. 1 Pocket Kodak Junior was a self erecting mechanism that allowed the whole operation to be carried out with the touch of a button. This effective camera was ready to take pictures immediately (The Living Image Vintage Camera Museum, http://licm.org.uk/livingImage/No1PktJunior.html).
