"Pocket Kodak Portraiture," a pamphlet issued by the Eastman Kodak Company, through its Kodak Press, December 1900. The front cover has an oval frame with stylized designs at the cardinal points and circular figures between them. Within the border is a head-and-shoulder portrait of a woman. The title is above and below this image. On the reverse is the motto: "If it isn't an Eastman / it isn't a Kodak." The publication consists of an essay on how to use the pocket camera to take portraits, using the work of photographer Rudolf Eickemeyer, Jr. and featuring photographs of his of men, women, and mainly children and teenagers. There are two diagrams explaining positioning for portrait-taking and an explanatory note by Eickemeyer about the equipment used for the images in the booklet. At the back are short statements about portraiture attachments for the camera, the folding pocket camera, and a price list for the camera, film, and attachments. A short note about the availability of other products through a complete catalog is at the end of the booklet. In good condition, the cover has some very light discoloration, soiling and scratches, but the inner pages are stiff enough to suggest the pamphlet was hardly used.Lexicon
