(NO AUTHOR) Madame Tussaud's Exhibition Official Guide & Catalogue; Revised and Brought Up-to-Date October, 1929 [Date on Cover: 1930]London: (Madame Tussaud's), 1930. Stapled wraps. [quite a decent copy, staples a bit rusty but covers and all pages firmly affixed, minor soiling to covers, internally very clean]. (photographs, ads) Guidebook to London's famous wax museum, including "An Outline of the History of Madame Tussaud's." Contains brief biographical descriptions of the several hundred historical and cultural personages depicted, and full-page photographs of the figures of: H.M. King George V; H.R.H. The Prince of Wales; H.R.H. The Princess Elizabeth; The Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Davidson of Lambeth; The Royal Victims of the French Revolution (including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette); King Edward I of England; The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. A loose leaf is inserted advertising an "Important New Tableau: Neanderthal Men," and affixed to page 57 is a small printed note announcing that "The Children's Pets have been withdrawn, and The Japanese Garden is closed during alterations" (this unfortunately obscures the descriptions of about half-a-dozen of the Children's Pets). There is an alphabetical index to all the figures, and a separate index to those in the Chamber of Horrors.. Very Good+ .
