The controversy was over the nakedness of the female figure's legs on the original cover. A replacement was soon forthcoming, although numerous CD booklets had already been printed with the original image. In news posted on the official Cradle of Filth website in mid-May 2006, it was revealed that the planned artwork for Thornography had been vetoed by Roadrunner Records.As some stores would not sell the album due to the cover, the baby image was replaced with an image of several flowers.
The cover originally depicted a baby's head emerging from a woman's vagina during birth.The cover was replaced, and never appeared on the American issue. The cover caused outrage in the United Kingdom that led to an investigation by Scotland Yard, instigated by Lwin's mother. The band's then-14-year old lead singer Annabella Lwin is nude on the cover. The cover of the album features a rendition of Édouard Manet’s painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe featuring the band members.Bow Wow Wow – See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy! (1981).Instead, the cover was changed before the album's release to an image of a wet garbage bag with the words "Slippery When Wet" written on it. However, the artwork was rejected because record executives feared that the dominant record store chains at the time would not sell the album with a sexist cover, or Jon Bon Jovi's complaint that the record company had put a bright pink border around the photograph that the band had submitted. The album originally was to feature a busty woman with 34DD breasts in a wet yellow T-shirt with the album name on the front of the shirt.The US record company issued it with an alternative cover which showed a photograph of the band on the front. Photographer Bob Seidemann used a girl, Mariora Goschen, who was 11 years old. The cover features a topless pubescent girl, holding in her hands a silver space ship, which some perceived as phallic.The image was replaced with a black background cover which blacked out the hair.

With her head tilted back, Xen displays her broad shoulders, breasts, and large hips on the album cover with her skin rippling "as if about to peel and fall off." Even though no genitals appear, Spotify and iTunes pixelate the area, as well as the breasts. The album cover is a computer-generated androgynous alter-ego named Xen.
The album was later reissued with Cooper's entire right arm airbrushed out of the photograph.
