Camera Chemist Collected Folding Kodak Negatives Photographic Price Purchaser Stamped Wallet
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming image of a woman carefully organizing her precious photographic memories in a Kodak film wallet from 1939. The wallet, designed to hold both photographs and negatives, was a must-have accessory for photographers in the 1930s. The wallet, stamped with the Kodak logo and the year of manufacture, is made of a white, folding material, providing a protective cover for the fragile film and images. The woman's deft touch and meticulous attention to detail speak to the importance of photography in the pre-digital age, when each snapshot was a cherished keepsake. The chemist shop where she purchased the wallet is a reminder of the role these stores played in the photographic process. Before the widespread availability of one-hour photo labs, photographers would drop off their film at their local chemist, who would develop the negatives and return them to the customer, often along with prints. The price of the wallet, a significant investment for many during the Great Depression, is not mentioned in the image, but the woman's determined expression suggests the value she places on preserving her memories. The Verichrome film she uses, also a product of the Kodak brand, was a popular choice for its high-quality images and long-lasting results. This image captures the essence of a bygone era, when photography was a labor-intensive and deeply personal pursuit. The Kodak film wallet, with its elegant design and practical function, was an essential tool for photographers in the 1930s, allowing them to protect and preserve their memories for generations to come.
