I always wondered how they were able to take great vintage pictures for the past decades in Kuwait, I’m talking about the years before 1900. A friend of mine emailed me a picture for vintage cameras (see above) from Kuwait that were used in the 1890-1920 period, can you imagine how old they are? The cameras are in a good condition and I was told they are still working, Masha’allah.
They are from the brands Kodak (too bad they broke) and Polaroid which was also a former instant camera and film maker. The cameras belongs to Mr. Hassan Ashkanani, I will try to ask if I can see them in person and possibly try to take pictures using them. I tried to search google for old rare pictures of Kuwait but could only find a few, if you got any please contact me.
Sure thanks to the british photographers and others who
were in Kuwait at that time to capture these great pictures
Still there are some of these cameras with the collectors
who likes to collect vintage items
Love the old days
So do I, I just love old rare things that has correlation with our past. I’m trying to get my hand on one of those invaluable cameras to take a picture and share it with you
That’s great
