Life and Times

Early in the 20th century, the small box camera (Kodak) entered our culture and the hands of millions of families. The result was an explosion of role of photography in recording the special events and everyday happenings of our lives. The following are but a sample of the enormous collection of photos taken over the first quarter of the last century. Enjoy and consider how they lived.
