Here’s an oldie, but goodie! The first successful roll film hand camera, the Kodak, was publicly launched in the summer of 1888. On this date, September 4, 1888, inventor George Eastman received a patent (number 388,850) for the camera’s shutter and the trademark (number 15,825) for the @Kodak name. #GeorgeEastman #kodak #photography #EastmanMuseum #VisitROC #IHeartRoc #ExploreRochester
