It is amazing that the tourism directors of Arosa approved this poster in 1935, which one might call bold given the nipples clearly visible beneath the fabric—or tasteless. On the other hand, those in charge may have been well aware of the risk (perhaps even rubbing their hands together) and guessed what a uproar it would cause. Which is exactly what happened. In any case, some cantons and the SBB rejected the display.
In the 70s the whole thing wouldn't have been a problem – today, on the other hand, it probably would be again.
possibly also of interest (and not the least bit offensive):
