Show moreLithograph: Chang and Eng, aged 18 The front of this engraving shows Chang and Eng Bunker at age 18, the two brothers with their arms around each other and the connection they share on full display. They wear trousers, likely a Thai sado, and a custom-made shirt on their torso, halfway unbuttoned to show their connected bodies. The background features palm trees, a tent, and a dirt road. The back of the lithograph offers information about the twins in Siamese, Malay, and English. Chang and Eng Bunker (May 11, 1811-January 17, 1874) were conjoined twins from Siam (present day Thailand) who rose to fame for their unique nature. They were joined together at the sternum by cartilage, and shared a fused liver. They were discovered as children and exhibited, before they took over their own management. After a while they settled down in the American South, marrying and having a combined total of twenty- two children. They lost their fortune with the conclusion of the Civil War and returned to show business. Drawn by D.C. Johnston, Pendletons Lithograph, Boston. Approximately 1829. Show less
