| Kodak ran hundreds of ads
in numerous magazines over the first few decades of the 20th century.
Typically the ads showed people engaged in everyday activities in a variety
of settings--the kinds of people who might want to take the same sorts
of photos of their own families. One source for the photos appearing in these ads were the winners of a national Kodak photo contest. The prize-winning photos from 1911 were published in the twelve page booklet (above) with the Grand Prize Winner reproduced in tinted color on the cover. |
