Punch, or, the London Charivari
"The Amateur Photographic Pest", 1890
This is a VERY large image, but can only be truly appreciated
in a legible size.
Please be patient, I think you will enjoy it.
| Punch was a magazine devoted to social commentary through
cartoons. The 1890 cartoon below depicts the nuisance that some people
experienced from the surge of amateur photographers everywhere snapping
photographs without regard to privacy or taste.
In America and abroad, the phrase 'Kodak Fiend' was applied to many who had purchased one of George Eastman's Kodak cameras. The image below shows photographers of all shapes and sizes snapping photographs at will. |
