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

A stereotype mold, or "flong," of a page from the newspaper *Le Patriote*, featuring inserts by Pablo Picasso, is held against a sunlit stone wall in Vallauris, 1960. The translucent panel reveals Picasso's designs in detailed relief: stylized carvings of a bull's head, a horse, a camel, and a human figure. Other sections are filled with dense, linear patterns resembling text. The mold was likely created using an intermediate plaster stage.
