Description:
Historic folding bellows camera produced by Eastman Kodak Company in the United States in the early decades of the twentieth century (circa 1914–1926).
Its bellows design, typical of cameras of the era, allowed for a significant reduction in bulk when closed, making it easily transportable and suitable for travel.
Once opened, it reveals a fascinating mechanical structure, with a body covered in faux leather, a front lens, and a mechanical shutter, designed for the use of large-format roll film.
The Autographic model is distinguished by its innovative system that allowed annotations to be written directly on the film (such as dates or locations of shots) via a special rear door, a cutting-edge solution for the time and a conceptual precursor to modern photographic metadata.
The Folding Pocket Kodak series was one of the most widespread and appreciated of its time, contributing significantly to the diffusion of quality amateur photography.
This camera is not just an antique object, but a concrete testament to the technological evolution and photographic design of the early twentieth century.
Ideal for collectors, vintage photography enthusiasts, and antique decor.
The item is sold as a collector's piece; its functionality is unknown and not guaranteed.
