Description
The Aztecs. Bartola and Maximo. New York: Sarony & Major, ca. 1850. Matching lithographs with gilt floral frameworks bearing portraits of the Aztec Children, captioned with their heights, ages, and weights. The second image shows the children beside an Englishman in coat and tie (perhaps Mr. Knox, their caretaker). Based on daugerrotypes by Becker & Piard. Handsomely framed, the larger 11 x 11". A Salvadorian brother and sister, Máximo and Bartola were widely exhibited, including a stint at Barnum's American Museum in New York. A mock wedding of the pair was staged in 1867 to generate publicity.
