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. The Brownie camera was designed by Frank Brownell in 1898 as an inexpensive yet reliable camera. The name was adopted from popular characters created by Canadian born illustrator and author Palmer Cox in the 1890s, making the Brownie camera a marketing success until the last one was made in 1980.

Fonction

To record still images on photographic film.

Technique

Eastman Kodak bought the rights to Henry J. Gaisman's patent for this folding type camera, which was sold in various models between 1914 and 1932. It incorporated the Autographic feature that allowed the photographer to write information on the film at the time of exposure. It produced 2 ½ x 4 ½ inch images on 116 film. The aperture listed four settings, near view portrait, average view, distant view, and marine, clouds, snow. The shutter was a ball bearing with five settings. The waist level viewfinder was reversible for horizontal & vertical formats. The lens was a Kodar 122mm f/7.9.
