The Brownie Camera


What is it?

The Brownie Camera is a well known series of cameras made by Eastman Kodak in the 1900's. These cameras are pretty inexpensive, but they serve the purpose. The cameras are made to take "snapshots". It was intended so that everyone could afford to buy it. The Brownie Camera got it's name from some popular cartoons.


How did it change Society and the Photography World?

The camera changed society by allowing everyone to have access to it, so that anyone could take pictures of anything they wanted. People were allowed to have memories that they could now hold in their hands, in the form of simple photographs. It helped develop more types of cameras and ways to take pictures in the photography world.
