Peter Collins (right) and Stirling Moss, two of Britain's celebrated "wonder boys" of motor racing, in an animated conversation during the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix. Wearing a racing suit with a British Racing Drivers' Club patch, Collins leans forward, gesturing with two fingers to emphasize a point. Moss, his friend since 1949, listens intently in profile. Their hands rest on a document spread across the hood of a car, where the letters "AUTOMO" are visible in reverse.
