George Eastman sends personal letter of thanks
Typed Letter signed: "Geo Eastman", 1p, 8¼x7¼. Rochester,
N.Y., 1925 December 22. On letterhead of Eastman Kodak Company, Eastman
writes to Mr. Rutherford H. Towner, New York City. In full: "Through
Mr. John E. Webber I have received a copy of your work 'Philosophy of
Civilization', in two volumes. A superficial glance at it shows me that it has
much matter in it that I will be interested in and I hope to read it carefully
in the near future. Thank you very much for sending it to me. With the Season's
Greetings, I am, Very truly yours," American inventor and manufacturer
GEORGE EASTMAN (1854-1932) revolutionized the photography industry
with his inventions of flexible film (1884) and the inexpensive Kodak
box camera (1888). He entered the photographic plate-making business in 1880
after inventing a machine to coat glass plates. The mass production of his
dollar Brownie camera in 1900 made photography available to children.
Eastman's philanthropic gifts to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the
University of Rochester (New York) and the Eastman School of Music, which he
founded, exceeded $100 million. Faint receipt stamp in upper right. Vertical and
horizontal folds cross signature. Overall, fine condition.
