The Peacock Censor and the Nipples

Wikipedia: La Vie Parisienne (the Parisian life) was a French weekly magazine founded in Paris in 1863 and was published without interruption until 1970. It was popular at the start of the 20th century. Originally it covered novels, sports, theater, music and the arts. In 1905 the magazine changed hands and the new editor Charles Saglio changed its format to suit the modern reader. It soon evolved into a mildly risqué erotic publication....

Georges Paul Gaston Leonnec  या फ्रेंच कलाकाराने हे चित्र काढले आहे.  १९२५ साली. त्याचे नाव  "Le Paon Censeur" ("The Peacock Censor").

Very probably the only time the nipples on this publication's cover were censored.

यातील मजा एका शब्दच्छलात लपली आहे.

Le Paon Censeur, sounds a bit like "Le Penseur" ("The Thinker"), a well known nude statue by Rodin.
