Description

This Eastman Kodak Brownie No 2 camera, Model D, is from 1910/20s. Made in America, the retro cardboard box camera with a meniscus lens, viewfinder and a handle comes in its original packaging. The Brownie series is considered iconic as it introduced candid photographs to the masses (famously known as ‘snapshots’ in the 19th century). Invented by Frank A. Brownell, and released by the Eastman Kodak Company in 1900, the long-running Brownie series was popular for its handy and inexpensive range of cameras. The Kodak Brownie No 2 was a limited series box camera manufactured from 1901 to 1935. It was the first camera series to use 120 roll film and had 6 different models - A through F. Model D was manufactured around 1914. Many iconic shots were taken with brownies, and many are still in use by film photographers.
