The Lost Coloramas
The Colorama was a Kodak advertising campaign. In 1949, these massive backlit transparencies (measuring 18 feet by 60 feet) were designed to introduce Kodak color film to a mass market and promoted a distinct Kodak American lifestyle. 565 Coloramas were displayed at Grand Central Station in New York City. Neil Montanus created many of them.
A few years ago Jim Montanus, Neil's son found a box containing dozens of original Colorama negatives that were never used in Grand Central but are still amazing in their own right.
