Stirling Moss, (78) Jaguar C-Type. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

From a high vantage point, Stirling Moss speeds along a curved road in his number 78 Jaguar C-Type during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, an event transformed that year into a race for sports cars. The scene is captured from a balcony where spectators watch from behind a wrought-iron railing. A large palm tree dominates the mid-ground, while across the sun-drenched road, more onlookers line the promenade, their long shadows cast by the bright light.
