Toole, is about Madame Tussaud's the famous waxwork museum in London. Madame Tussaud's was popular with the Victorians as it provided them with a focal point for their fascination with the monarchy. Figures such as Queen Victoria were popular. It also provided a historical context, with figures of Napoleon, a history of the wars, as well as a gruesome chamber of horrors providing entertainment for those visiting. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Howard & Co | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Leisure And The Arts Music Musical Hall Songs Attractions Sheet Music | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Reece, Robert | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
