This Original Kodak camera, introduced by George Eastman, placed the power of photography in the hands of anyone who could press a button.

Website dedicated to Brownie photographers everywhere: past, present and future.

The Kodak "Brownie" camera made its debut at the turn of the twentieth century and sold for one dollar. One hundred thousand of them were purchased during the first year alone. The Brownie helped to put photography into the hands of amateurs and allowed the middle class to take their own "snapshots" as well.
