Canada

Representative of the use of fashionable colours with modernistic geometric patterns to attract consumers. By the year 1934 the box camera had reverted to its more traditional sober colour (Coe, 94). Kodak Canada was founded by Eastman Kodak in 1899 in a Toronto shop where employees cut sheet film and fitted lenses on cameras to support the growing potential for a photographic market in Canada. As Canadian interest in photography grew, the company expanded across the country throughout the 20th century to produce in all aspects of photography including still and movie cameras, film, x-ray film, photocopy paper, and photographic chemicals under many popular names including Brownie, Kodacolor, Carousel, and Supermatic.

Fonction

To record still images on photographic roll film.

Technique

A box rollfilm camera that produced 2½ x 4¼ inch images on 116 film. The Kodak doublet lens allowed a shorter body than usual Brownie Boxes (Coe, 34).
