$175.00

Vintage c. 1890 cyanotype gelatin silver print vernacular photograph featuring three women taking a refreshing constitutional through the plush foliage and blooms of a beautiful garden. Modestly dressed in floor length dresses with long sleeves and tightly cinched, corseted waists, these lovely ladies are the picture of Victorian style.
This photo was created using the first Kodak camera, no. 540. Introduced by George Eastman, it placed the power of photography in the hands of anyone who could press a button. Unlike earlier cameras that used a glass plate negative for each exposure, the Kodak came preloaded with a 100-exposure roll of flexible film. After finishing the roll, the consumer mailed the camera back to the factory to have the prints made. The camera, loaded with a fresh roll of film was returned with the negatives and mounted prints. In capturing everyday moments and memories, the Kodak\'s distinctive circular snapshots defined a new style of photography––informal, personal, and fun.
Measurements: 4\" x 5\" on a matte single weight paper stock. It is unmounted. Image area has a diameter of 3.5\"Seller info: shelf 10
