On this day in 1928, George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, hosted a lavish garden party at his Rochester, NY home to introduce something truly revolutionary: Kodacolor. 🎨 This was the world's first amateur color motion picture film system, bringing the magic of color home movies to the public for the very first time.
Guests at the event, including Thomas Edison, were filmed using the new technology. The footage was quickly processed and then screened for them just hours later, a stunning display of innovation that changed the way we capture and remember our lives. 🎥
