Barnum's Museum #2


"These albinos, members of the Lucasie family, were brought to the U.S. from Holland in 1857. Their hair, skin, eyebrows and eyelashes were pure white, their eyes a startling pink".

Hello Buckles:
Any information on the Aztec Children at Barnum's Museum circa the Civil War period? I found an original Currier and Ives poster depicting them while they were at Barnum's in New York. Found it in an antique shop in Georgia. Do you have any information on them or any idea what the poster might be worth to a collector??? Pat Davison, patandtess@juno.com.
