Best Answer

George Eastman Kodak invented roll film and a camera that used it in 1888. Before that, only single shot cameras existed, mostly using glass plates that were difficult to use. As I recall, the camera contained enought film for 100 exposures and had to be mailed away to have the film removed, processed and prints made. Kodak returned the camera re-loaded.
