The Beau Brownie came with the use of fashion colours in cameras with a modernistic geometric pattern in two tones on the front panel. 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. In 1898 George Eastman decided to produce a simple & inexpensive camera capable of producing fair quality photographs. Brownie cameras became synonymous with popular photography for over 80 years. They were reliable and good value for the money. Between 1900 & c.1964 over 100 different brownie models were produced.
