About this work

A pen-and-ink print shows a vulture-headed censor in a cloak and hat cutting with large scissors at a kneeling man who clutches a folded newspaper. Torn papers litter the floor, and a tall signpost reading LOI DE CENSURE 1830 stands beside a barrel marked with a fleur-de-lis, with onlookers behind. The work is titled The Censor, by J. J. Grandville, dated 1836.
