Kodak (Brownie)
The film roll was the key element for the first Kodak camera, which was originally called the “roll holder breast camera.” The name Kodak was created by Eastman himself and first appeared in December 1887. With the KODAK Camera, Eastman laid the groundwork for making photography accessible to everyone. The Brownie was a simple box camera featuring a single lens. It utilized roll film, another breakthrough from Eastman Kodak. Customers would get the pre-loaded camera, snap their pictures, and send it back to Kodak. Kodak would then develop the film, print the photos, reload the camera with fresh film, and send it back to the customer.
Cyanotypes
Anna Atkins
Anna Atkins (16 March 1799 – 9 June 1871) was a pioneering English botanist and photographer. She is frequently recognized as the first individual to release a book that featured photographic illustrations. Additionally, some references claim she was the first woman to produce a photograph. In the 1850s, Atkins worked together with Anne Dixon (1799–1864), who was very close to her, almost like a sister, to create at least three presentation albums featuring cyanotype photograms.
