Summary

Alternative Name(s): Envelope; Negative Sleeve

'Kodak' branded folder for photographic negatives and prints, produced by Kodak Australasia Limited between 1914 and 1920. The folder features a nostalgic, soft-focused, Pictorialist style image of a woman in a draped gown holding a Kodak folding camera. Inside, the folder explains the quality of Kodak film and promotes their enlargement services. The catch phrase or slogan 'If it isn't Eastman, it isn't Kodak film' was used to stress brand integrity and quality.
