Summary
Sepia toned photograph of two Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd employees posing in what is possible a Kodak office, circa 1939. They may have been employees working on V-Mail correspondence during the war, or possibly regular office or processing workers.
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.
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.
