MJK1 and MJK3

Please feel free to correct me whenever you wish.

Hello Stewart,

Thank you for the invitation but the likelyhood of that occurrance being the result of you being in err is probably akin to positively naming Jack the Ripper himself! hahaha :-)

best wishes

This misspelling of Jeanette appears to be a typing error in the original album page which was merely copied at the PRO when they prepared their album. Was there any reason that you hadn't noted this on the album page photograph, on this thread, from Shirley Harrison's book? Otherwise I thought you would have commented on that when you noted it (if you noted it).

Hello Stewart,

This answer confirms my own thoughts. Re the Diary mistakes- plural-...I refer to my previous comment that Shirley Harrisons entire book causes cynicism-imho.

I'm too old to get embarrassed.

Hello Stewart,

I never assume to know everything about anyone. :-)

What are you insinuating by this Phil? More conspiracy nonsense?

Ahh! The most honourable Mr Clack arriveth !

You assume Mr Clack. Never assume.

Have another scholastically well-learned attempt in the art of psychologically defining written language interpretation. Without of course any hint of assumption and definition of action based on any pre-determined conclusion this time. :-)

I wish you a very pleasant evening. :-)

Exactly what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

Perhaps you should speak plainly instead of insinuating all the time?

You only assume he's not speaking plainly, Rob. Never assume.

very good Mr Wescott- a perfect example of how to be understanding in response of my quick repartee. I will have to change track in response. Floccinakcinihilipilification perchance? At which point the tram halts at the MJK3 terminus. :-)

I'm not quite sure where you are getting your size for a cabinet photograph from.

I have several Victorian photographs in my collection, several of which are CDV sized. The Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Eddowes and smaller Kelly photographs, from the album, are all CDV size. The larger full scene shot of Kelly on the bed is, as far as I can recall 5.75" x 4".

I have a CDV of James Berry taken in 1885 and in his letter he talks of having a cabinet struck of himself. The only larger photograph of Berry I have seen is of a similar size, i.e. 5.75" x 4".

I bought an item last week which was described as a cabinet photograph. The card itself measures 6½" x 4¼"; the image itself measures 5¾" x 3¾". That roughly equates to the measurements for the larger full scene shot.

I always assume he is talking bollocks. And I am usually right on that point.

Yet another personal insult afforded me Mr Clack?

Floccinaucinihilipilification is most apt then.

This thread was an absolute pleasure to read through. So much back and forth, so many points for and against. I admit Mr. Woods almost swayed me with just his sheer conviction alone. Alas, in the end Mr. Evans and Clark's points were simply too strong in my mind to be ignored.

P.S. It really looks like a pinkie to me.

Hi Amanda,

No, not really, but working by rule of [right] thumb I reckon it to be about 2 x 1.5 inches, roughly the dimensions of a matchbox.

Regards,

Simon

Amazing how often a matchbox crops up!!
