Description

This box of Eastman Kodak Developing Powders represents the early commercial darkroom era when photographers mixed their own chemistry from powder packets rather than using premixed liquid developers. Designed for use with early Kodak film tanks and plate tanks, these powders would be dissolved in water to create the developing solution. The Greek key border design and typography are consistent with Eastman Kodak packaging from the early 20th century, making this a genuine and uncommon piece of photographic history. The presence of an intact original packet significantly adds to its collectibility.
