 Polaroid Turns 57
On February 21, 1947, Dr. Edwin Land astonished the audience at a meeting of the Optical Society of America by taking a photograph of himself and, less than a minute later, pulling apart a fully-developed 8x10-inch print of his own image. This, of course, was the beginning of Polaroid Corporation, which, at PMA, introduced its all-new Two-Second Digital Prints Kiosk.
