The Folding Pocket Kodak was introduced in 1897 in the 2 ¼" x 3 ¼" size. Prior to its introduction the Kodak range comprised box cameras or bulky hand-and-stand models fitted with bellows. The F.P.K. series proved to be very popular and important to Eastman, it developed into a wide range of models in different film sizes. Early models used struts to hold the lens panel, later a folding-bed with pull-out front standard was used.
