Kodak eastman hawk eye camera

Here is a device that has become mythical. It bears the little-known name of the founder of kodak of which it is one of the cult devices. Even if it is marked above the "n°1" lens, this is the rainbow hawk-eye number 2a folding model b for discerning collectors. The device we present here is one of the folding models that were manufactured between 1892 and the end of the 50s. It was by developing in particular the flexible film (1888) that georges eastman popularized the art of photography. "press the button, we'll do the rest" becomes the boilerplate that opens the doors of the world to him. This success of the rochester brand will thus cross the twentieth century and will imprint its mark on history in the broadest senses.
