How does this text in English could be rewritten to sound more EnglisH...I am French?

"Gradually, photography became more accessible, and between 1850 and 1870 the middle classes were able to practise photography and have their portraits made. Twenty years later, their children privilege the non-professional photography as a hobby. This democratization doesn't reach workers and still less the farming world which forms the essential of the French population. The arrival of Kodak apparatus made a true revolution. In 1888 George Eastman markets the first Kodak, which includes a roller of one hundred sights at the price of 25 dollars. This was in the United States but soon extended to the rest of the world. Success is immediate because the apparatus makes it possible to be delivered to the joys of the capture of the scene without having the constraint of laboratory work hitherto completed by the photographers themselves. It is enough to send the apparatus to Rochester where, for ten dollars, the photographs are developed and the apparatus reloaded with a new reel. The advertising slogan “Press on the button, we make the remainder” encompassed the new ambitions of the firm: to conquer a vast market beyond the enlightened amateurs. The development of the amateurs stimulates the industry of the cameras and significant surfaces and supports the innovations. The trade and the craft industry related to the portrait are not touched yet, quite to the contrary, the photographers of district taking care of work of laboratory of the amateurs. New businesses of amateurs are constituted." He is the text, thanks for helping

  2. I did extensive changes so you should just take my whole text. Some of your original text was not clear, so I had to improvise, after reading up on the subject: (Comme j'ai apporté de nombreux changements, je vous conseille de copier-coller ma réponse, intégralement. La dernière partie de votre texte n'était pas claire, alors j'ai improvisé, après avoir lu sur le sujet). "Photography became gradually more accessible and between 1850 and 1870, the middle class were able to practise photography and have their portraits made. Twenty years later, their children had access to non-professional photography as a hobby. However, this was not within the reach of workers and farmers who constitute the largest part of the French population. The arrival of the Kodak camera was truly revolutionary. In 1888, George Eastman marketed the first Kodak which was a simple box camera that came loaded with a 100-exposure roll of film. It sold for 25 dollars. First available in the United States, this novelty soon extended to the rest of the world. Success was immediate because the camera made it possible to take pictures without the need of a professional photographer. All that was needed was to send the camera to Rochester where, for ten dollars, the photographs were developed and the camera was reloaded with a new reel. To underscore the ease of the Kodak system, Eastman launched an advertising campaign and coined the memorable slogan: "You press the button, we do the rest." encompassing the new ambitions of the firm: to conquer a vast market beyond the enlightened amateurs. The growing numbers of amateur photographers stimulated the camera industry and encouraged innovations. The trade and the craft involved with portrait taking was not touched yet, quite to the contrary, as professional photographers took care of laboratory work for the amateurs. New amateur companies were set up."
