The Original "Siamese Twins" - Chang & Eng Bunker RARE Signed CDV Photograph!
This 2.35" x 3.85" Photo has been personally signed by world-famous conjoined twins (1811-1874) Eng and Chang Bunker. The twins were born in Siam (now Thailand) from which the phrase 'Siamese twins' is derived. They were discovered by a Scottish merchant and exhibited around the world as a curiosity and made their way to the United States, where they were occasionally promoted by P. T. Barnum but found him stingy. The inseparable brothers eventually left show business and bought a plantation together in North Carolina and joined in matrimonial union with the Yates sisters, with whom they fathered a total of twenty-one children. The autographed photo comes encapsulated and authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services.
