c. 1850 Handbill for Siamese Twins ‘The Biddenden Maids,’ English Folklore, Kent
(The cakes bear an image of the twins similar to the one on this handbill. no. 1884.56.100). It was within this context that a local printer produced our handbill. He notes that a ‘new and enlarged’ account of the Maids was produced in the 1820s.
