A composite image of an photograph and a patent. On the left is a photograph of an old camera. It is positioned at three-quarter view, and is a brown, boxy rectangle. At the front is a circular exposing the lense. At the top is a flat piece of metal that appears to be a winding mechanism. The right image is of a nineteenth-century patent for the camera pictured at left. In all black on a white background, text at the top read "G. Eastman. / Camera." and below that "No. 388,850" and "Patented Sept. 4, 1988". Below this text are three illustrations of the camera at different angles accompanied by some annotations.
