George Eastman receives a patent for his camera...



Item # 656333

September 22, 1888

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, Sept. 22, 1888  Although quite significant for any collector of vintage cameras, one of the back page has the "Index of Inventions" showing over 100 which have recently been awarded, one being: "Camera, G. Eastman....388,850". This was for his first roll film not requiring support.
Various illustrations of recent invention of the day, many quite curious. Sixteen pages, nice condition.
