Summary
Photograph of 'The Kodak Cot', presented by Alice Baker and funded by Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd in earlyl 1923.
Kodak's Adelaide branch donated the endowment of a children's cot for three years to the Children's Hospital in Adelaide in 1923. The branch staff were hoping to raise another £200 to make it a life endowment. The branch asked Alice Baker to present the cot to the hospital, while she was passing through Adelaide with her husband, Kodak Australasia Managing Director Thomas Baker, on their way to America.

This photograph was published in the April 1923 edition of the Australian Kodak Works Bulletin. A woman in the photograph is holding a fan, suggesting the weather was hot. The Bakers and Miss Shaw departed Melbourne for America in February 1923, so this photograph must have been taken between February and April when it was published. -
