inches, 172x118 cm. R.C.S. Bobigny.
Condition A: minor bubbling in image.
This “scandalous” image, featuring a provocatively unclad Sophie Dahl (British model and grand-
daughter of writer Roald Dahl) was banned by the British Advertising Standards Agency after they
received a record number of complaints from people citing the image as being “degrading and offen-
sive” The image was shot horizontally but was positioned vertically for the French bus shelter posters.
