EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait from 1895 introduces us to the enigmatic Johnson twins of Bristol, Messrs T and J Johnson. Known locally as the 'Dromios of Bristol,' these identical twins, with their striking resemblance and shared mischievous grins, have left generations of viewers pondering the age-old question: Which is which? The Victorian era, with its fascination for all things unusual and intriguing, would have been captivated by the Johnson twins' uncanny resemblance. Dressed in formal attire, their crisp collars and neatly pressed suits add an air of sophistication to the image. The brothers' shared expression, a playful twinkle in their eyes, hints at a secret known only to them. The caption, "The Dromios of Bristol and Which is which?" adds to the intrigue, referencing Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors' and its twin characters, Antipholus and Dromio. This allusion further emphasizes the twins' unique identity and the delightful confusion they bring. This photograph, preserved in the Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of identity and the intrigue that comes with being part of a pair of identical twins. The 1890s, with its Victorian charm and fascination for the unusual, make for a perfect backdrop to this portrait.
