Sarah Bernhardt at 14
by Nadar in 1859<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. It was spring, 1954 and I was in what would become my last year of formal school for a decade. In its April 26, 1954 issue, \u00a0LIFE magazine<\/a> offered two stimulating articles for photographers and photo-historians.<\/p>\n

The portrait of a young\u00a0Sarah Bernhardt<\/a> by French photographer Nadar<\/a> was taken in 1859, two decades after the electrifying news of photography’s invention by Daguerre<\/a> in France and Fox Talbot<\/a> in England. The portrait \u00a0is included in the article LIFE calls “Man first appears before the camera’s eye<\/em>“. The article begins on page 146 of the magazine and includes reproductions of many now well known early photographs.<\/p>\n

On page 154 of the same issue, begins the story of George Eastman<\/a> and Kodak<\/a> titled, “The prodigious life of George Eastman<\/em>“. \u00a0A person and company that defined photography for a century and lives on today in its trademarks, history, Museum, and much diminished role.<\/p>\n

A big thanks to George Dunbar for discovering these two fascinating stories from the 1950s when photographic history was of increasing interest to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
