I Dreamt I Slept at Madame Tussauds - A Victorian Nightmare of Fun and Frivolity
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1847 cartoon by the renowned satirical illustrator, George Cruikshank, presents a whimsical and humorous take on the popular Madame Tussauds Waxworks Exhibition. The title, "I Dreamt I slept at Madame Tussauds," sets the stage for a fantastical and imaginative exploration of the famous attraction. In the illustration, a group of Victorian-era people are seen in various stages of sleep, nestled among the lifelike wax models. Britannia, the symbol of Britain, lies sprawled across a table, her crown askew, while a gentleman in a top hat and tails dozes off next to a wax figure of a king. A woman in a flowing gown and bonnet slumbers peacefully beside a wax baby, while a man in a bowler hat and striped trousers snores loudly next to a wax figure of a lion. The scene is filled with humor and fun, as the boundary between reality and illusion is blurred. The people appear to be enjoying a night of rest and relaxation among the models, oblivious to the fact that they are in a public exhibition. The wax figures, in turn, seem to be enjoying the company of their human counterparts, creating a surreal and delightful tableau. This satirical depiction of Madame Tussauds offers a glimpse into the lighter side of Victorian society, where the boundaries between dream and reality, and fun and fear, are playfully blurred. Cruikshank's masterful use of line and shading brings the scene to life, inviting the viewer to join in the merriment and delight in the absurdity of the situation. Overall, this charming and humorous illustration offers a unique perspective on the popular Madame Tussauds Waxworks Exhibition, highlighting the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of a good night's sleep.
