In her "Memoirs" of 1838, Madame Marie Tussaud recounts how she was forced to take wax impressions of the newly severed heads of her royal friends Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and how, with her head shaved, she awaited her own execution with the beautiful Josephine Beauharnais, future Empress of France. Fortunate to survive, she travelled to England with her collection of macabre wax casts, and established the "Baker Street Bazaar", so creating the Waxworks Museum that has made her name immortal.
