The George Eastman Museum is located in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation. There is always something new and different to engage, educate, or entertain you at the Eastman Museum:

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Photo Kaleidoscope (award any 2 photos from the pool), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Nathalie Boisard-Beudin said:
    That is a wonderful shot. I do not quite understand why this picture (and the rest of this collection) is indicated as having no known copyright restrictions when the author is still alive (and hopefully still taking pictures).
  • Alison Nordström said:
    The artist gave the copyright to George Eastman House when he donated his photographs. We've chosen not to restrict their use on Flickr.
  • BigBean said:

    the iconic nature of this image doesn't at all distract from its emotive power.

    FYI -- this appears to be the original, unretouched, version of the photo, with the thumb in the foreground.

    It's amazing how the color makes them seem so much more identifiable...so much more modern. Wow. :)

    In 1915 my grandmother was 10 years old. She died at 100 in 2005. Photos like this make me more aware of what a huge life span that is. The changes happening in a hundred years... being there to live through it. Thanks for posting this lovely document.
