The guards of the Royal Palace in the old town of Monaco 1954.

In Monaco's old town, the guards of the Royal Palace march in formation, 1954. Dressed in dark tunics, white belts, and distinctive pith helmets with plumes, they proceed down a narrow street flanked by buildings with shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies. Spectators line the sidewalks to observe the procession. On a corner, a shop named "Curiosités" advertises postage stamps and postcards to a crowd that includes formally dressed men in suits and academic robes.
