[MOVIE CAMERAS]. Group of Two Proofs for Advertisements for the Pathex Automatic Motion Picture Camera. New York: Pathex Inc., September 13 and 30, ca. 1920s. Printed proof copies on glossy paper. Sizes range from 356 x 280 mm to 483 x 318 mm. The smaller proof is worn, soiled, with marginal tears; the larger proof has a horizontal crease at center, some rubbing. The blurbs on these proofs (the ads have several differences) emphasize the transitory nature of memories and that the films created by the Pathex camera will help to preserve those memories. These home movie cameras were among the first to appear on the market for amateur filmmakers.
