George Eastman had a new hobby: photography. The year was 1877, and
photography was not as easy as you might think. It cost a lot and the
equipment was bulky, but George was about to change all that. What he
lacked in formal education, George more than made up for in ingenuity:
he invented dry plates, film, and the Brownie camera! The rest is
history.
For anyone who has ever taken a picture or posed for one, It's a Snap!
George Eastman's First Photograph, with its playful, informative text
and lively illustrations, is a splendid introduction to biography, to
photography, and to the amazing man who had so much to do with putting
picture-taking within reach of us all.
