Catalogue 1892, Eastman Kodak Co. (Rochester, NY), dated 1892,
pp.14-15
No. 2 - 4 x 5
Notes:
The Kodak No. 2 is a
4x5 Kodak early enough to have a string-actuated shutter (the string is
broken, as usual) and taking round photographs. At this period,
the long roll of film was removed in the darkroom at the Kodak
factories, and the images were all mounted and returned to the owner
with the camera factory-loaded with fresh film. Examples of its
photos are included here.
