About 1830 conjoined twins were called "Siamese twins", "jumeaux siamois", etc., so named after the twins Chang and Eng. This lithograph by Edouard-Henri-Théophile Pingret, was done on their visit to Paris in 1836 and is in the Wellcome Library.

Damien Hirst's twin art is an example of using people for art. He uses a set of twins wearing and doing the same thing under a similar pattern of dots.
