Prince Rainier of Monaco, a keen car enthusiast, leans casually against his Lancia Aurelia B20 Gran Turismo 2500. Photographed in 1954 at his Villa Iberia in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the Prince is dressed in a tweed sports coat and tie. That same year, he competed in the Tour de France de l'automobile under the pseudonym Louis Carladès, an event which ended when he crashed. In the background, extensive scaffolding around the grand entrance with its ivy-clad columns indicates that the villa is undergoing renovation.
