World War II Era Film Boxes
This is part of a display that I photographed at a World War II reenactment event, processed to emphasize the boxes for this week's Looking Close On Friday theme: "Old Boxes."
According to various sources that I found on the Web:
Kodak Plux-X film was intoduced in 1938. The emulsion was improved over the years, first significantly in 1941. Plus-X was discontinued in 2011. Verichrome was introduced in 1907 on a Nitrate base, making it extremely flammable. Kodak released a new version called Verichrome Safety Film in 1931 on a non-flammable acetate base. Verichrome Safety Film was replaced in 1956 by Verichrome Pan, which was ultimately discontinued in 2002.
Both Plux-X and Verichrome were used by war photographers during WWII.
