History: First Polaroid Camera unveiled in 1948

On November 26, 1948, the Polaroid Model 95 Land Camera hit the American market, forever changing how we capture memories! The inspiration came years earlier from Edwin Land’s young daughter, who simply asked why they couldn’t see a photo immediately. This led Land to spend his vacation designing a concept for an instant camera. Initially dismissed as a gimmick, the invention proved its worth, selling over a million units within eight years. It’s a fantastic story of how a seemingly simple question from a child can lead to a world-changing innovation!
