A Kodak circular snapshot photograph of the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company stand at a trade fair, taken by an unknown photographer, c. 1889.

The photograph was taken with the Kodak camera made by the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company. The camera was 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.
