In 1945 a young American brother and sister were photographed with early Kodachrome color film while reading a book on a summer day in the backyard of their home. As one of the very first transparency (slide) films, 35mm Kodak Kodachrome had a very slow film speed of only ASA/ISO 10. Kodachrome was introduced in 1935 and went through a variety of faster film speeds (up to ASA/ISO 200) and other technical improvements until the Eastman Kodak Company discontinued manufacturing the popular film in 2009. Historic 1945 photo.
