George Eastman, 1884
George Eastman marketed the first roll of flexible photographic film, Eastman Negative Paper, in 1884 which was a coating on a paper base. It was called "stripping film" because the paper backing had to be stripped off during processing. Eastman American Film was introduced in 1885, the first transparent photographic film, "celluloid film" or "nitrate film". Reverend Hannibal Goodwin invented a roll film with a transparent backing that was more flexible and the Eastman company acquired this film in 1889.
