Photography by the end of the 19th Century was starting to become popular. This is down to the availability of equipment. The invention of Silver Gelatin Dry plate in 1871. made it possible for photographers to take out film with them apposed to having to take a whole darkroom with all the chemical treatment.
George Eastman introduced a camera in 1888, called the Kodak, that had a roll of the flexible cellulose film. This Kodak was the start of popular photography and ensured that Cameras were now available for almost anyone.

George Eastman's motto was, “You push the button, we do the rest!” The Camera had a single shutter speed and fixed Lens. The Whole unit was to be returned when the film was used fully. This was because the Film needed to be kept in the light-tight box, so not to spoil the film.
In 1900 Eastman came up with the Brownie. This was for sale for $1
