Kodak Brownie 127 camera, c 1950s.

UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 24: Kodak camera that uses 127mm film and has a bakelite body, made in UK. George Eastman marketed the original Brownie to be an inexpensive camera for the mass market; when first introduced in 1900, the price of the camera was just $1(5 shillings in UK). As well as being cheap, the camera was extremely simple to use, even for children. The Brownie made photography accessible to the masses in a manner similar to how the introduction of the Model T Ford popularised motoring. Designed by Frank Brownell, the camera was literally a cardboard box with a wooden end, yet it took perfectly good photographs. Eastman named the camera after characters popularised by the Canadian children's author, Palmer Cox. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
