His Polaroid instant camera went on sale in 1948 and made it possible for a picture to be taken and developed in one minute or less. Land received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963, the IRI Medal in 1965, the Perkin Medal in 1974, the Harold Pender Award in 1979, and the National Medal of Technology in 1988.
