Summary

Colour photograph of a display panel titled 'The Kodak Game', presumably aimed at Kodak employees or visitors working in photographic processing or manufacture, but also possibly a simple visual representation of the qualities the company aimed for in its processing. The panel is laid out as a board game with various snakes and ladders squares that either advance the player or set them back according to quality of processing.

This is one of a group of images taken of the displays at an Open House (Open Day) at the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory in Coburg,1964.

It 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.
