Boccasile created this nude version for Paglieri who refused to use it.
Boccasile refused to alter it for 2 years but as Paglieri did not pay for the commission, he eventually altered it to the known censored version.
In the meantime The Hotel Excelsior, used the poster to promote a Grand dancing evening and covered her nudity with the announcement. This is the only know copy in existence.
