Following an accident at the Sainte-Dévote corner, Stirling Moss (78) holds a cloth to his face as he signals danger to race commissioners. The incident occurred during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which that year was uniquely transformed into a race for sports cars. In the background, amid straw bales and temporary barriers, are the cars of Hume (84) in an Allard J7 and Robert Manzon (56) in a Simca Gordini T15S. Spectators crowd the balconies and terraces of the grand hotels lining the sunlit street circuit, which casts long, sharp shadows on the asphalt.
