- Notes
- This camera, the Kodak No. 0 Brownie Model A was produced from 1914 until 1935. There were a few variations for this model, with the changes mainly internal (it is after all a box). The Brownie was a series of cameras made by Eastman Kodak. Introduced in 1900,[1] it introduced the snapshot to the masses. It was invented by Frank A. Brownell. Brownies were extensively marketed to children, with Kodak using them to popularise photography. They were also taken to war by soldiers. As they were ubiquitous, many iconic shots were taken on Brownies.
