These images obtained from Jean-Claude Baker, show a watercolor of Jazz Age singer Josephine Baker by Henry Fournier (original at L) and two other images of the same with a progressively larger censored banner. Jean-Claude Baker, adoptive son of the famed singer, in an attempt to use the watercolor to promote his New York City restaurant was prohibited by the US Postal Servise (USPS) from mailing the original (L) as a postcard.
