Baptism of Princess Caroline. Monaco 1957.

Following the baptism of Princess Caroline in Monaco in 1957, a formal procession descends the grand stone steps of the cathedral. Prince Rainier III, in full ceremonial uniform, and Princess Grace lead the way, followed by other dignitaries. The staircase, covered by a black carpet, is lined on both sides by an honor guard of soldiers in plumed helmets standing at attention with fixed bayonets. The black and white photograph captures a moment of official pageantry and solemnity.
