In her memoirs of 1838, Madame Marie Tussaud recounts how she was forced to take wax impressions of the severed heads of her royal friends Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Then, with her head shaved, she awaited her own execution. Fortunate to survive, she travelled to England with her collection of macabre wax casts which resulted in the famous waxworks museum.

Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ... federation and civic oath, --mutually agreed to by the assembled thousands'? The scenes of cruelty, carnage, and assassination which followed, never entered into the perspective which the citizens traced in their minds, as they laboured for that work which they flattered themselves would be the consolidation of their political happiness. At sunset the signal for departure was given, and the Parisians, forming themselves into different companies, according to the sections to which they belonged, returned to their respective homes, each imagining that he had that day been performing the part of a patriot, and that he had been discharging a duty that was incumbent upon him. All retired satisfied with themselves, I 122 GRAND PROCESSION. and pleased with their neighbours and fellow-labourers. Happy illusion! Pity that it could not have longer endured. But if the preparatory operations presented a gay and animated scene, what words can describe the wonderful and beautiful-spectacle which the day itself displayed? Madame Tussaud observes, that it is impossible for the imagination to form to itself any adequate idea of the enthusiastic development of joy which seemed to pervade all Paris. Amongst other objects which composed the immense procession, were three triumphal cars, the first containing the goddess of Liberty, personated by a lady of respectability, and not, .as often erroneously stated, a prostitute; the female selected was one whose figure ( was commanding, and who possessed a fine countenance, and dignified appearance; the car was ornamented with symbolic devices. The next which followed contained the figure of Voltaire, and afterwards followed that of Rosseau, the federate authorities of the provinces, with those of the army, each.

Madame Tussaud is a name known all over the world. The queue to her exhibition is a landmark. Such is its phenomenal success, it has eclipsed the woman who started it all. But Marie Tussaud led a remarkable life. With grit and audacity she overcame reversals of fortune and built an extraordinary spectacle. Of lowly birth and uncertain paternity, Marie became apprentice to a charismatic showman in Paris who taught her the art of wax modelling. They plied their trade among a colourful cast of 'Italian singers, pastry cooks, restaurant keepers, marionettes, acrobats, giants, dwarves, ferocious beasts'. In her memoir she also claimed friendship with royals and revolutionaries including Marie Antoinette and Voltaire. But, as a born entrepreneur, did Marie's flair for publicity extend to moulding her own story? After the Revolution, she came to England and took her show on the road. She pursued the punishing lifestyle of the travelling show for many years and secured a lasting reputation in the Dickensian world of 19th century popular entertainment. More than a biography, this captivating cultural history plunges the reader into popular culture of the past; the escapist delights of canine cabaret, living skeletons, phantasmagoria and of course waxworks. It reveals a truth that Madame Tussaud understood and harnessed from the outset - the mass-market appeal of glamour and gore is enduring and universal.

Kate Berridge’s Madame Tussaud: A Life in Wax “celebrates a great pioneer of mass-market illusion, whose illusions eventually included herself.”* Millions have visited the museums that bear her name, yet few know much about Madame Tussaud. A celebrated artist, she had both a ringside seat at and a cameo role in the French Revolution. A victim and survivor of one of the most tumultuous times in history, this intelligent, pragmatic businesswoman has also had an indelible impact on contemporary culture, planting the seed of our obsession with celebrity. Kate Berridge tells this fascinating woman’s complete story for the first time, drawing upon a wealth of sources, including Tussaud’s memoirs and historical archives. It is a grand-scale success story, revealing how with sheer graft and grit a woman born in 1761 to an eighteen-year-old cook overcame extraordinary reversals of fortune to build the first and most enduring worldwide brand identified simply by reference to its founder’s name: Madame Tussaud’s. “A good story, like Berridge’s biography, is a blessing.” —Miami Herald “A rousing good read . . . [Berridge] presents us with a thorough understanding of the beginnings of popular culture.” —Vancouver Sun “Fascinating. . . . A vividly recreated history of an extreme time and the unusually determined woman who capitalized so effectively on it.” —Globe and Mail “Spectacular and spellbinding. . . . Thoughtful, original, never condescending, erudite, and packed with vivid and sometimes horrifying detail, it is a model of how cultural history should be written.” —*Sunday Times (London)
