7. The Versailles government censored nine of Gill's caricatures for L'éclipse between 3 September 1871 and 17 November 1872. At other times, Gill would collect his banned drawings into folio volumes sold at the various journals' premises; for example. Dix dessins de La lune rousse refusés par la censure du 16 mai. Information from C. Fontane, André Gill: un maître de la caricature (1927), passim
8. and Gill, Vingt années de Paris (1883). The estimated number of caricatures censored each year during the period 1871-9 was roughly 200-250, except for 1876, when the number dropped to 100, and in 1878, when the first post-seize-mai ministry censored just 73. In the period before the seize mai, between 1871 and 1876, the journals censored most often were Le grelot, Le Don Quichotte, L'éclipse and La lune rousse - all republican
