Summary

A black and white, half plate negative featuring a photograph of a toddler/small boy sitting and laughing on a low bench, while an older woman to the left smiles and holds a toy duck. On the ground before him are several toys and behind him there is a draped floral and lace tablecloth, hung as a backdrop. The provenance of this image is unclear, but it came from the Kodak corporate museum at Coburg.

This image 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.
