The series of drawings was first published under the title Bag One and exhibited in January 1970 at the London Art Gallery. On its second day of viewing, the exhibition was closed by Scotland Yard and the lithographs were confiscated because of their highly intimate and erotic nature. The case was ultimately dismissed when the magistrate decided that John's prints were unlikely to deprave or corrupt.
