Ii. the Two-Headed Girl
“A remarkable freak of Nature, which impresses the beholder with silent awe. ‘Observe the two heads and one body.’ ‘See these fair faces, each one lovelier than the other.’ No one can gaze upon them without a double sensation ’of sorrow and of joy’—sorrow that such beauty and grace were ever united, and joy that he has had the pleasure of contemplating their union.
“Wind them up, Peter.”
This figure is made by two young ladies standing back to back wrapped in one large skirt. They hold their arms out with their hands hanging, and slowly revolve when they are wound up.
