137 years ago, the small wooden box camera called Kodak No. 1 was invented by George Eastman. This historic 1888 invention marked the beginning of the democratization of image-making allowing anyone to capture 100 simple round photographs without understanding the intricacies of photochemistry. This exquisite photography exhibit juxtaposes vintage cameras and photographs from the late 1880s by unknown photographers with contemporary work created in 2020s by Leverett photographer James Gehrt.
