| Commentaires : | Kodak introduced this model in April of 1907 and had made over 2,100,000 before 1921. It was discontinued in 1936. The original price for a new camera was around $3.00. The Brownie was a revolution as it was one of the first cameras to be marketed and sold to average working class people. It changed the way people thought about cameras and brought vernacular photography to the world. |
