A comical photo “all-bum” portraying the [faces of] male Kodak Advertising Department employees, photo-montaged seamlessly onto the bodies of “Kodak Girls,” Golden-age Hollywood actresses, and soft erotica of the early 20th century. The album documents a specific era of workplace humor and, in a light-hearted, inadvertent way, questions traditional American notions of gender and beauty. For what was apparently an internal passion project, a great deal of detail and technical mastery is present within the pre-photoshop montages, exhibiting a level of skill that only a darkroom technician at the likes of Kodak would have possessed.
Beneath each photograph is the subject’s autograph, with one titled “me,” depicting the creator/compiler of this tongue-in-cheek workplace study. The album’s presentation seems purposeful in its design, with the cover bearing “old style” typeface in blue & gold ink, and the warm-toned photographs mounted in formations reminiscent of CDV and cabinet card albums from 50+ years prior.
