The albino family, the Lucasies were obtained in Holland by Phineas Barnum during a visit to Amsterdam in 1857. He brought them back to America where they became one of his most popular exhibits. Barnum billed them as being of black Madagascan lineage and that their pink eyes stayed wide open while they slept! The Lucasies were managed by long time Barnum employee Dr. Oscar Kohn. Along with other "living curiosites" in Barnum's employ they appeared in his American Museum on Broadway and offered life story pamphlets for sale along with their 15 cent carte de visite photographs such as those above. Other albinos in the employ of Barnum included the teenage "Amos", Charles Gorhen and during the 1880's his sideshow acts included the Martin sisters.

Albinoism is a strange condition. It's amazing that it can be passed on like that too.

I've only seen one albino in real life in college. He was a senior when I was a Freshman.

Yeah I seen a few, not so weird.

interesting stuff... where did you get that info?

Just ran across it while surfing ^-^

interesting genetic make up... thanks for the pics and they look really creepy

I went to highschool with one. Kool looking dude. Someone called him negative.

I heard these people are prone to skin cancers skin they don't have those melanin on their bodies to protect them from the sun's UV rays..

now those pictures are just so creepy. reminds me of The Others by Nic Kidman.
