Description
A photographic postcard depicting a man eating limpets with the caption, "Eat limpets and live. Everything all kiff with Cousin Jack". "All Kiff" was a common term used by miners when writing home from abroad. It is thought to have been a distorted interpretation of "OK" which, even in this far-off days, the Americans frequently used. This card, one of the 'Real Photograph Series' produced by E.A. Bragg & Co. of Illogan, Redruth, from about 1900 is an excellent example of many fine 'action' photographs produced by the expert photographic artists with the limited equipment available to them at the time.
