Printer Hidalgo Arnéra at his press in Vallauris, 1960. This close-up shows a stereotype mold, or "flong," of a page from the newspaper *Le Patriote*, set within the printing bed. The plate features unique inserts by Pablo Picasso; among the columns of text are his simple line drawings, including a cartoonish face and small, animal-like figures. Held in place by metal blocks, the mold is positioned beneath a large roller, ready for the press.
