John Theodore Tussaud
John Thedore Tussaud (2 May 1858, Kensington – 13 October 1943, Croxley Green) was a sculptor, manager and chief artist of Madame Tussauds wax museum,[1] and an author of several books.
John Theodore Tussaud was born in Kensington, the great-grandson of Marie Tussaud. Although his father sold Madame Tussauds to a company headed by Edwin Josiah Poyser in February 1889, John Thedore Tussaud continued in his role as manager and chief artist for many years. He exhibited a bust of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and other sculptures at the Royal Academy. He wrote a book on the history of Madame Tussauds[2] and the book The Chosen Four about four of Napoleon Bonaparte's loyal supporters who followed him into exile on Saint Helena.[3] In 1935 Tussaud was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.[4]
