A 19th century notice describes the Chang and Eng Siamese twins exhibition in Ord's Hall and Whiting's Hall with modest crowds. The piece notes their growing attachment, family-like interactions, and political differences. It contrasts Chang as the dominant, breadwinning twin with Eng the smaller, increasingly emaciated partner, risking eventual absorption if trends continue.
