Picasso personalized the title page of the book "45 Gravures sur Linoleum 1958-1960" with a whimsical drawing known as "Faune" or "Tête d'un homme barbu." In green crayon, he dedicated it "pour mon ami E. Quinn," signing and dating it "Picasso le 7.7.60." in orange. The cartoonish figure incorporates the printed name "PICASSO" into its head. Edward Quinn photographed this gift at La Californie, Cannes, in 1963.
