In 1918, Ansco published a catalog profusely illustrated with charming drawings of a dashing woman traveling and photographing across the United States. |

On the front cover of the catalog was a photo of a woman with her camera about to set out on a trip (left). The drawings inside (below), chronicled her travels until she returned home as pictured on the back cover (right). |  |

Like Kodak, Ansco tried to make their product name synonymous with photography by using it as a verb--"Anscoing". Fortunately they did not succeed. Below are some examples of the Ansco Girl on her travels. |
