1890, 9 December
The Kodak Fiend.

Newspaper article
Internet - Original source ill-defined
Hawaiian Gazette, December 9, 1890
 
"Have you seen the Kodak fiend? Well, he has seen you. He caught your expression yesterday while you were innocently talking at the Post Office. He has taken you at a disadvantage and transfixed your uncouth position and passed it on to be laughed at by friend and foe alike. His click is heard on every hand. He is merciless and omnipresent and has as little conscience and respect for proprieties as the veriest hoodlum. What with Kodak fiends and phonographs and electric search lights, modern inventive genius is certainly doing its level best to lay us all out bare to the gaze of our fellow-men. The moral of it all is: keep cool, stand erect, and wear a kindly face. You will be a better man, and live longer, and make others happier thus, whether the Kodak fiend snaps or passes you by."
