Summary
Colour photograph of Graham Francis shaking hands with Stuart Sanderson behind a table covered in opened presents at Graham's retirement celebrations. A crowd of Kodak staff are gathered around and someone is signing his large farewell card. Graham retired in 1981 at the age of 57, after forty one years with the company, much of that time as a buyer in the Purchasing Department. The photograph was taken with Kodak Instant Film, a short-lived and rare film type due to the ensuing patent infringement lawsuit won by Polaroid in 1985.
