Summary
Black and white photograph of a shop front window display in a Kodak Limited retail store, circa 1930s. The display is themed around a festival, with three circular panels of cameras, each with a photograph in the centre. There is a metal hanging shape above them, like a domed tent with bunting, and a ribbon shaped sign runs across the floor of the display which reads: 'Celebrate the Festival with a New Kodak Camera'.
This photograph is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
