Kodak: Farewell to the People’s Camera

As part of its filing, Kodak will sell a portfolio of more than one thousand imaging patents to raise cash. Here, LIFE.com offers a brief celebration of the early days of the company that, for all intents and purposes, introduced photography as a hobby and a pastime to America, and the world.
