Antique Cameras
Antique cameras are a development of the 'camera obscura' which has been used for hundreds of years by artists to assist with the formatting of artwork on canvas. It wasn't until years later when chemists discovered photographic plates and films that the camera came into being. The 'Box Brownie' camera was invented by Kodak in 1900 and made photography very popular, the 'brownie' was bought by millions of people.
