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 intently over his press in Vallauris, 1960. In the high-contrast scene, a focused light illuminates his face and the machine, casting a large shadow on the workshop wall. On the flatbed lies a stereotype mold—a 'flong'—of a page from the newspaper 'Le Patriote'. This particular plate is unique, as it features inserts designed by Pablo Picasso.
