Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Captain Kodak: A Camera Story" by Alexander Black is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around an amateur photographer, Allan Hartel, and his adventures alongside his friends, particularly in relation to the excitement and challenges that come from their shared interest in photography. The plot begins with Allan receiving a camera, which ignites a series of events involving friendships, mishaps, and community interactions centered around photography. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Allan and his friend McConnell amidst an amusing chaos after a circus elephant escapes and creates havoc in their town, Hazenfield. Allan expresses a desire to have documented the incident with a photograph, hinting at his budding passion for photography. Shortly afterward, he reveals to McConnell that he won a camera as a prize from a composition contest. This revelation sparks their enthusiasm for setting up a darkroom and experimenting with photography, leading them to a night filled with events surrounding a factory fire that they eagerly attempt to photograph. The opening sets the tone for a blend of adventure, friendship, and the exploratory nature of youth as they dive into the world of photography.
