When the Madame Tussauds fire was first reported to the police, many officers were at a nearby theatre, and thus rushed over in their best clothes to help contain the blaze. The two models here survived with relatively little damage, but certainly look unsettling. The waxwork on the left is a representation of the notorious Victorian murderer, Dr. Crippen, so it’s completely fitting that this photo looks so unnerving.
