Snapshot photograph of a woman lying on the ground in the shade of a group of palm trees, taken by an unknown photographer in about 1911. Wearing typical Edwardian dress, with an elaborate floral hat, this woman shelters from the sun in a palm grove. The bungalows in the background suggest the photograph may have been taken in India or perhaps Malaysia or Burma. This photograph was taken with a No. 2 Folding Pocket Kodak camera, produced between 1899 and 1911. Originally a shooting term, the word 'snapshot' was first linked with photography in the late 1850s, when it was used to describe a photograph taken with a brief exposure. Over time, snapshot came to mean any amateur photograph taken with a simple camera. The origins of popular photography can be traced back to George Eastman's introduction of the first Kodak camera in 1888. Snapshots are informal, personal records of everyday life and experiences.
