<p>It could be argued that consumer photography didn't begin until 1888, when Eastman Kodak made his Kodak No. 1 (the followup to the Kodak Box) available to the public at large alongside the now famous slogan: "You Press the Button, We Do the Rest."</p><p>And thanks to the National Media Museum, we now have a small gallery of sample photographs that show what photos taken 125 years ago with the Kodak No. 1 looked like.</p><p>Without a doubt, the Kodak No. 1 revolutionized photography. A plain-looking, leather-covered wooden box preloaded with 100 exposures, its simplicity and (relatively) low price tag made it the first camera realistically available to the masses.</p><p>Using the camera was as easy as turning the key to wind the film, pulling the string to set the shutter and pressing the button. So, technically, the slogan should have read "You wind the key, pull the string and press the button we do the rest," but you can't blame them for shortening it.</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/09/30/blast-past-photos-captured-kodak-1-125-years-ago/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.popphoto.com/news/2013/09/125-years-later-heres-what-photos-kodak-no-1-looked">125 Years Later, Here&#039;s What Photos from the Kodak No. 1 Looked Like</a> (Popular Photography Magazine)</p><p><a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2013/10/14-amateur-photos-taken-with-the-very-first-consumer-camera/">14 Amateur Photos Taken With The Very First Consumer Camera</a> (Gizmodo Australia)</p><p><a href="http://www.douglascountysentinel.com/opinion/article_aa474874-29e3-11e3-8dc7-0019bb30f31a.html">Photography&#039;s moments in time</a> (douglascountysentinel)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dMZyi8zyQgKkv1MNnb-H6LZ73OFQM&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
