Cabinet card, circa 1880s, showing Siamese twins Millie and Christine McCoy, former slaves-turned-performers. They are identified as "The Two Headed Nightingale" on the photograph's mount, which is also imprinted by the studio of Olivier, Brooklyn, New York. The verso is pencil inscribed "Millie Christine / Born in North Carolina / July 1851." Some edge bumps to the mount, very good condition.
