A Kodak circular snapshot photograph showing a woman riding a donkey, taken in North Africa by an unknown photographer in about 1890.

The woman sits on the donkey side-saddle and is accompanied by two men.

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.
