Résurrection de la censure[1] is a lithograph by Grandville (1803-1847).
- Lithograph, 1832. This work was assisted by Eugene Forest (b. 1808) whose signature also appears on the stone. As published in "La Caricature," No. 62, Plate 125, the story is as follows: The Official censor, D'Argout, depicted as the anti-Christ, rises from his tomb which is a box of bureaucratic records. He clutches a huge pair of scissors while the figure of the constitution sleeps. As a result of this and other satirical images, Charles Philipon, the editor, was arrested. Copies of this publication were seized by the public prosecutor. [2]
