A Kodak circular snapshot photograph of a couple in a rowing boat, taken by an unknown photographer, c. 1890.
Both the man and the woman hold a pair of oars, the woman wears a striking striped dress and hat with a veil. The man sits behind her in a bowler hat.
The photograph was taken with the Kodak camera - a simple, leather-covered wooden box designed for amateur use, which produced circular snapshots two and a half inches in diameter. The camera was sold pre-loaded with film, when the whole film had been exposed the camera was sent back to Kodak who developed it, returning the prints and the reloaded camera.
