Title

The Kodak 1904

Subject

A magazine specializing in photography, the Kodak was edited by Iskandar Makarius, and constitutes one of the editor’s first stabs at photo journalism. Makarius later worked at Al Mukattam newspaper (Egypt, Cairo), and then went on to publish the Sudan Press and Al Lataef al Mousawarah (Feb. 15, 1915).

Description

The Kodak discusses AUB social life as well as social and political events in Greater Syria, and as such, constitutes one of the early examples of reporter photo journalism. Some of the most noteworthy events covered in the three issues of The Kodak that were handed down to the Libraries are the celebration of the anniversary of the coronation of the Ottoman Sultan in BeitEddine (summer 1903), the fire of the Petroleum Store House in Beirut (January 1904).
