Chang & Eng No. 3
Plaster death cast of Chang & Eng Bunker (1811-1874), the original Siamese Twins. During their long career the twins amassed and lost several fortunes. In the 1840s, Chang and Eng became naturalized American citizens and retired from show business to live quiet lives as Southern planters. In 1843, they each married — sisters Adelaide and Sarah Yates — and began to father numerous children, twenty-one between them. In the wake of the Civil War, the twins were forced to return to show business to recoup their financial losses.
When Chang and Eng died during the night of 16-17 January 1874 (Chang first of an apparent stroke, then Eng several hours later due to exsanguination), Drs. William Pancoast and Harrison Allen from the College of Physicians traveled to Mount Airy, North Carolina, to collect the bodies for transportation back to Philadelphia for autopsy. As the twins had died some weeks before the doctors arrived, it was necessary to disinter the remains and quickly embalm them. The bodies were then soldered into a tin box for transportation back to the College, where a more thorough embalming procedure was undertaken prior to the autopsy on Monday, 9 February 1874.
During the autopsy it was discovered that the twins shared a conjoined liver, which is now displayed in a large jar beneath their death cast.
