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.

In the Vallauris workshop of printer Hidalgo Arnéra in 1960, a stereotype mold, or "flong," for a page of the newspaper "Le Patriote" is set on the flat bed of a press. The plate, covered in raised, reversed text, incorporates several whimsical line drawings created as inserts by Pablo Picasso. A large, smooth impression roller is positioned just above, its surface reflecting the focused light that illuminates the heavy, industrial machinery.
