This Kodak Brownie personal camera dates from 1914-1916. In 1900, the Kodak company set out to win new markets with its Brownie model and the slogan, "You press the button. We do the rest." In addition, two boxes of Kodak film, from 1944 and 1952.

The first affordable camera that recorded an image appeared at the turn of the century. Even today, 100 years later, we are still using it. I feel that the camera represents the 20th century well because, just like the camera, our century has been marked by constant development.
