On the first anniversary of his accession to the throne in Monaco-Ville, 1951, Prince Rainier ascends a wide staircase. Dressed in a formal military uniform adorned with a sash and medals, he carries a white floral garland and the hilt of a sword. A military band stands at attention beside mid-century automobiles, including a Lincoln Cosmopolitan and a Cadillac convertible. Following the prince is a small procession of dignitaries, with crowds of onlookers and the coastline visible in the distance.
