Color advertising sideshow trade card for the performance of Black Siamese twins Millie Christine (Millie & Christine McKoy), \"The Renowned Two-Headed Lady\", \"8th Wonder of the World\", in Syracuse, New York on June 6, 1883. While this advertising trade card surfaces for sale from time to time, actual printed dates and locations on the card for specific performances are very scarce. I\'ve attached an article from the June 7, 1883 Rome, NY Daily Sentinel newspaper that describes the show the day before in Syracuse (for reference only).
Millie and Christine McKoy (1851 - 1912) were Black American conjoined twins who went by the stage names \"The United African Twins\", \"The Carolina Twins\", \"The Two-Headed Nightingale\" and \"The Eighth Wonder of the World\". Several articles on their lives and career can be found online.
