Eng and Chang Bunker (1811-1874), the original 'Siamese Twins', conjoined at birth. When the boys were 17 they were exhibited in Europe and America by Scottish merchant Robert Hunter, and examined by doctors. In 1832 they realised that their new manager, Captain Coffin, was taking most of their profits, and made a separate arrangement with the circus owner Phineas T. Barnum. The visiting card, by the London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company, features a photograph of the twins as older men. It was probably taken on their trip to Britain in 1868-9, their first in 30 years.
