Cox Brownies   vs   Kodak Brownies

No one seems to know what relationship, if any, there was between Palmer Cox and George Eastman.

Neither the Brownie figures used on the camera boxes or the one used in the July advertisement is truly a Cox figure.

Cox-like but not Cox.

There are only two Kodak advertisements that used the characters similar to those of Palmer Cox.

A comparison between the figures reveals that:
1. The Kodak figures are not nearly as crisp as the Cox figures which would suggest that Cox was not involved in the drawings..
2. The August Kodak figures are closer in resemblance to the Cox figures than the December figures which suggests that there might have been in December an effort to avoid infringement..

The figures on the far right are the only other Brownies that appear in any other Kodak advertising, and, too, are not Palmer Cox figures.
