From the beautiful suite folder ""Pablo Picasso – Les Déjeuners"". Published by Cercle d'Art & A + G De Mai, Lausanne / Paris in 1962.

Picasso began making linocuts in the late 1950s, and the originals were published by the Galerie Louise Leiris in signed editions of 50 copies. In 1962, Picasso and the Galerie Louise Leiris collaborated to produce a facsimile edition of the linocuts, meticulously recreated at a reduced size. The printing was done in West Germany, with a French edition published by Editions Cercle D'Art and an American edition published by Harry Abrams, both in 1962.

Reprints were published in later years, but the quality of the prints in the 1962 collection is far superior, having the look and feel of the actual linocuts.
