This, the first of the Brownies, is really responsible for the entire line of these popular cameras. Originally produced as a camera particularly for the children, the No. 1 Brownie made such good pictures in their hands as to excite the interest of grown-up people, and the success obtained by its use created a demand for similar inexpensive cameras for pictures of larger size. The No. 1 Brownie is exceedingly simple to operate and each camera has to undergo the regular Kodak inspection, before being sent out. The scope of view is ordinarily located by V-shaped lines at the top, but if preferred the Brownie finder (detachable) illustrated below, can be fitted at an extra charge of 25 cents. Has automatic shutter for time or snap-shot exposures, and will make good portraits when fitted with Kodak Portrait Attachment. In Detail For square pictures, 2¼ × 2¼ inches. Capacity, 6 exposures without reloading. Size of camera, 4? × 3? × 3 inches. Weight, 8 ounces. Lens, meniscus, 3¾-inch focus. Shutter, Eastman Rotary, with one stop. The Price
