uring my recent trip, I picked up this wonderful sturdy box with “Polaroid 440” on it and when I opened it, I discovered an instant camera and one of the beautiful examples of design engineering of the 1960s-1970s.

The Land Camera was manufactured by Polaroid between 1948 and 1983. It is named after their inventor, Edwin Land, who developed a process for self-developing photography. After Edwin Land’s retirement from Polaroid, the name ‘Land’ was dropped from the camera name.
