Kodak #1 and #2 Photographs
3 Attachment(s)
This is not exactly a card thread, but I'll try it here. Does anyone out there have any baseball images from either a Kodak #1 or Kodak #2 camera? If so, I would love to see them. I got these photographs a number of years ago and just refound them. They are dated 1890 in Buffalo NY. Notice the center image shows the player with a fingerless glove. Kodak #1 and Kodak #2 cameras were the first "personal" cameras made, I believe. They allowed the average citizen to take his own photographs. The entire camera was sent to Kodak where they developed the pictures for you and returned your camera reloaded with film.

Kodak Photographs
Hey Gary,
I only have one example but it's not baseball. It's a UPenn cycling team image with Winchester Osgood. He was a 19th century football star for Cornell and UPenn. He later went on to become a tragic hero in Cuba's fight for independence from Spain while searching for glory after the gridiron. Win, on the left, is seen below inside UPenn's campus track with his teammates in the late 1890's. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/IMrRxg.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/gJAr0h.jpg Reverse.. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Ias7Dc.jpg Win with the Cornell team in 1892. Pop Warner was also one of his teammates that season! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/uHOCCS.jpg Sheet music dedicated to Captain Osgood.. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/uxbQpd.jpg |
That is a cool group of companion pieces and an interesting story.
