GEORGE EASTMAN - TYPED LETTER SIGNED 06/14/1912

GEORGE EASTMAN The innovator in photography writes regarding the content of clippings he is sending to a doctor friend in New York City. TLS: "Geo Eastman", 1p, 8¼x7¼. Rochester, New York, 1912 June 14. On letterhead of Eastman Kodak Company to Dr. E. R. L. Gould, New York City. In full: "I enclose some more clippings. Mr. Rumball's reference to Garden Cities is particularly interesting when compared with what he wrote me on the 24th of March last. It seems to me that if he can change his views so radically on one point in the controversy he may be mistaken about others. Yours very truly". Dr. E.R.L. GOULD, who was affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, was a economist and leader for reform for housing, banking and government in New York City. GEORGE EASTMAN (1854-1932) perfected the process for making photographic dry plates (1880) and invented flexible transparent film (1889) that would prove vital to the subsequent development of the motion picture industry. Eastman also invented the Kodak box camera (1888), introduced daylight-loading film (1892) and invented the Brownie camera (1900). Lightly creased with folds, light vertical fold between the "st" of Eastman. Fine condition with large, bold signature. For more information contact HistoryForSale. DOCUMENT 276384
