Ansco Cut Film Holder, 1904-1928
01
Artifact Overview
In 1913, Kodak introduced their pioneering Eastman Portrait Film for the professional photographer as an alternative to glass plate photography. Individual sheets of flexible cellulose nitrate were housed in light-safe film holders. Large format film produced by Kodak and others held copious amounts of information, perfect for crisp, faithful reproductions. A less flammable "safety" sheet film was introduced in 1925.
