Raymond Sommer, (42) Ferrari 125, behind him Luigi Villoresi, (38) Ferrari 125. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.

During the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, Raymond Sommer pilots his Ferrari 125 (No. 42) along the harbor-side circuit, followed by Luigi Villoresi in the sister car (No. 38). From a stone wall above, a crowd of spectators leans over the balustrade to watch the open-wheeled racers navigate the straightaway. The track, lined with hay bales placed between metal bollards, runs parallel to the water where numerous boats are moored. The scene is captured from a high angle, revealing a temporary sandbag barrier at the edge of the frame.
