A follow up to yesterday's post: Newspapers around the country ran an illustrated article on the draped nudes scandal entitled ''Where and Why Miss Brooks Draws the Line.'' This widely syndicated article ran in the Sunday supplement & Sunday magazine section of various papers, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, and Sacramento Union. For a larger scan of the article, see www.cartoonretro.com/louise/brooksmodestysm.jpg
What was all the fuss about? The following nude image (right) appeared in the December, 1925 issue of Artists & Models magazine.
