EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Eng and Chang, the famous Siamese twins, are seen at the age of 18, engaging in a lively game of shuttlecock. The brothers, who were born in Siam (now Thailand) around 1811, were joined at the chest and shared a liver, but had separate heads, arms, and legs. Their unique condition fascinated the world, and they were exhibited as a curiosity in Europe and the United States from the age of five. Despite their unusual circumstances, Eng and Chang led an active and independent life. They were known to have separate personalities and were able to perform various tasks independently. In this image, they are shown in a more private moment, enjoying a game of shuttlecock, a popular sport in Southeast Asia. The brothers are dressed in traditional Siamese attire, with Eng holding the shuttlecock in his right hand and Chang poised to return the shot with his left. Their expressions suggest a sense of playful competition and enjoyment. The photograph, taken around 1832, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Eng and Chang beyond their public persona as a curiosity. It underscores their humanity and their ability to lead a normal life, despite their extraordinary condition. The image is a testament to their resilience and their spirit, and serves as a reminder of the complexities and diversity of human experience. Eng and Chang's story is one of fascination and intrigue, but ultimately, it is a story of two brothers who defied the odds and lived their lives on their own terms. This photograph is a precious reminder of their unique bond and their shared love for a simple game.
