Kodak: Farewell to the People’s Camera

On January 19, 2012, Eastman Kodak announced it had filed for bankruptcy protection as the 131-year-old film and camera-making innovator struggled to adapt in a world where digital photography rules over … well, everything. 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.

Goodbye Kodak, you have served a good purpose to everybody.
