Obelisk Press

The case alleging the obscenity of Sleeveless Errand by Norah C. James was heard at Bow Street in the presence of Sir Archibald Bodkin , Director of Public Prosecutions.

The Obelisk Press in Paris was established by Jack Kahane , in part to combat prudery in British publishing.

Heinemann , publisher of Bessie Cotter by Wallace Smith , was fined £100 after pleading guilty to a charge of obscene libel.

Jack Kahane , owner of the Obelisk Press in Paris, died: he left his son Maurice the press, which had been founded in 1931 to combat British prudery.
