The First Photo Booth Ever

As with most inventions, it is not clear who first thought up the photo booth. The first patent for the idea was filed in 1888 in Baltimore, Maryland. There is no record of this photo booth ever actually being built though. The first time a photo booth was actually brought into America was in 1925. A Russian inventor who came to America in 1923 made one of the first commercially successful photo booths and set up in New York City on Broadway for 25 cents. The machine took eight photos and the overall process took about ten minutes. Even after all this time it's a still a flourishing trend!
