Le Journal La Traite des Blanches 0000-0055

Quite a few literary works of this era first saw the light of day as installments printed in daily or weekly papers. A major novel appearing in a trickle would hold readers for several months, with the hope that readers would get used to the paper's other features and remain loyal afterwards. The lure of a new sensational novel was often used to advertise the paper itself. And sensational is the word for this poster advertising installments of ""White Slavery."" It depicts a heartless pimp with three of his victims. One is arguing passionately for her freedom, one seems resigned to her fate, and one in utter despair. In Steinlen's original version, the willing prostitute had her breasts bared, but there was an adverse reaction to the poster, and this censored version was hastily substituted.
