It helps to know what the writer is talking about to make sense of this, but even without background knowledge the missing word is clearly an issue:

Muh Arif Rokhman, ‘Rereading Barthes’ Reading Method: Comparing French and Indonesian/British Cases’, Humaniora, 18 (2006), 246-53 (p. 247)

It’s not, as it actually says, a reference to a picture saluting a flag, or even, just as surrealistically, to a flag saluting a picture (a picture-saluting French flag?), but refers to Roland Barthes’s discussion of the signification of a photograph of a black soldier on the cover (below) of the magazine Paris Match.
