This print shows a crowded room full of wax figures at Madame Tussaud’s famous exhibit in London. It’s a snapshot of 19th-century London life, printed in black and white. The scene was published by J. Mead in London, capturing the odd mix of curiosity and entertainment that wax museums offered back then. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
