The No.4 Cartridge Kodak Camera was manufactured in Rochester, N.Y. between 1897 and 1900. George Eastman, who owned the Kodak Company, sold 10,000 of these cameras at $50 a piece. The fairly advanced amateur used this hand-and-stand camera. The camera was able to take photographs 5x7 inches in format on a 12-exposure daylight loading roll film #104, with optional plate back. When closed it looks like leather covered, roughly cubical box. One side swung down to provide a baseboard, along which the lens panel could be drawn out. Bellows connected the lens panel to a modified Eastman-Walker roll-holder, which was fixed inside the box and accessible by lifting the lid.
