On a sun-drenched day in Monaco, 1953, a man on a scooter navigates a curving uphill road past outdoor cafes where patrons are seated under extended awnings. In the foreground, a triangular "men at work" sign rests beside a pile of gravel. Parked at the curb is the 1952 Bentley R-Type Continental fastback saloon by H.J. Mulliner, belonging to Aristotle Onassis. In the background, the city’s architecture scales the steep, leafy hillside, revealing a prominent circular building with an arched base.
