~ Madame Tussaud & Sons' Exhibition ~

*Turn of the 20th Century Photographic Guide*

Before the Great Tussaud's Fire of 1925, the famous London Exhibition was a grand building that deserving earned it's nickname :The Palace of Enchantment. John Theodore Tussaud, great grandson of the foundress and head artist for the waxworks, was known for his elaborately detailed and faithfully recreated tableaux. He took the task of 'scene setting' and elevated it to a near perfect art form. Here, in a rare photographic guide from the turn of the last century, are some wondrous examples of John Theodore's exquisite work.

 (Of personal note: The TIGER HUNT scene might be my personal favorite scene from any museum, from anytime in all of history.) 

This lovingly cared for exhibition guide from the infamous Madame Tussaud & Sons' Exhibition is from the private collection of Timothy Randall and is apart of the ever growing 'WAXIPEDIA ARCHIVES'.)
