THE RAREST CDV OF THE MOST FAMOUS “SIAMESE TWINS” CHANG & ENG + THEIR WIVES & TWO OF THEIR TWENTY-ONE CHILDREN – P. BARNUM – Chang and Eng Bunker remain the most famous Siamese twins of all time. The CDV you are considering is considered the rarest image ever taken of these duo along with the two sisters whom they married and two, of the twenty-one children they fathered together. Chang & Eng were definitely P. Barnum’s most successful Siamese Twins of all time. The circus sideshow photograph remains in amazing antique condition with the photographer’s back mark I have shown in my second listing photo. If you are a 19th Century circus collector, then this is a must have image for your collection. CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The CDV is the only image taken with their wives. The print as well as the mount are in amazing antique condition. The image is one of the best printings I have encountered, with excellent contrast, tonal range and sharpness. The only imperfection I can find is a tiny crease in the upper left corner of the mount. The E & HT Anthony back mark is boldly printed as well. As a major early American circus photo collector, I can tell you this specific photograph of Chang & Eng rarely comes to the market.
