A stereotype mold ("flong") of a newspaper page ("Le Patriote") with inserts by Pablo Picasso, probably made with an intermediate plaster stage. Printer Hidalgo Arnéra at his press, Vallauris 1960.

Printer Hidalgo Arnéra leans with intense concentration over his industrial press in Vallauris, 1960. On the press bed lies a stereotype mold—a "flong"—of a page from the newspaper "Le Patriote," featuring unique inserts by Pablo Picasso. In the starkly lit workshop, dramatic lighting picks out the machine's intricate gears and spoked handwheel, casting deep, abstract shadows on the rough, unfinished wall behind the focused craftsman.
