Life with Picasso by Françoise Gilot and Carlton Lake

This is the copyright page of the hardcover book 'Life with Picasso,' authored by Françoise Gilot and Carlton Lake. The page indicates a copyright date of 1964 by McGraw-Hill, Inc., and notes it was printed in the United States of America. Physically, the paper appears to be an off-white or light cream machine-made bond, showing subtle age-related toning. Visible through the paper is the bleed-through of the title text from the preceding page, which confirms the book's title. The Library of Congress Catalog Card Number listed is 64-23276. Below this, there is an ISBN-style code '07-023266-0' and a string of numbers '3456789BPBP79876543,' which likely serves as a printers' key or internal tracking code. The typography utilizes a clean, sans-serif font for the technical data, contrasting with the more stylized, large-scale serif font seen in the reverse shadow of the title. The binding appears tight, and the paper remains crisp, though minor handling marks are visible at the edges and a faint crease appears near the thumb of the person holding the page up. This first edition memoir is a seminal work in art history, providing an intimate account of Gilot's decade-long relationship with Pablo Picasso.
