Description
Photographic portrait of Pasadena's famous Banbury twins, Jessie and Jennie, [s.d.]. Both women can be seen clothed in decorative hats and dresses with plaid trim, and stand looking straight ahead. The sister on the left holds what appears to be a letter, while the woman at right can be seen holding a purse. The sister at right also wears a brooch and earrings, both of which her sibling lacks. The twins were the daughters of Colonel Banbury, one of the premier members of the Indiana colony in Pasadena. They were popular entertainers of the 1880's.
