Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Millie and Christine Smith. "After great persuasion and with the kind assistance of my friend Dr. F. F. Maury (owing to the modesty of the twins and the natural reluctance of Mrs. Smith), the accompanying photograph of them was taken. They clung to their raiment closely, as may be seen, and it was only by earnest entreaty that they were willing to compromise by retaining the drapery as photographed. The expression of their countenances shows their displeasure, as their features ordinarily express great amiability of character. This living example of pygopagus symmetros is named Millie and Chrissie Smith. They are negresses, twenty years of age, born of slave parents in Columbus County, North Carolina, July 11, 1851." |
