Tussaud, Madame (1761–1850)

French wax-modeller. In 1802 she established an exhibition of wax models of celebrities in London. It was destroyed by fire 1925, but reopened 1928.

Born in Strasbourg, she went to Paris as a young girl 1766 to live with her wax-modeller uncle, Philippe Curtius, whom she soon surpassed in working with wax. During the French Revolution they were forced to take death masks of many victims and leaders (some still exist in the Chamber of Horrors).
