YouTube videos on the history of the photo booth

Photo booths are making a comeback. The machine was introduced in 1925 by Anatol Josepho, an inventor from Tomsk, Russia, who had immigrated to the U.S., said Maxim Sverdlov, a photo booth maker. Placed near Times Square, a prototype became an overnight sensation. http://www.nytimes.com/card/2025/08…
