Prince Pierre of Monaco, Louis Chiron with film camera. Monaco Grand Prix 1956.

At the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix, Prince Pierre of Monaco, in a dark double-breasted suit, and racing driver Louis Chiron stand among a crowd of photographers and spectators. As a vintage car blurs past, the men focus on the action from behind a low, slatted barrier reinforced with sandbags. Many hold cameras of the era, including large-format and twin-lens reflex models, capturing the focused excitement of the race against a backdrop of lush foliage.
