Prince Bira, (50) Maserati 4CLT. The bend at the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.

Prince Bira negotiates the Gazomètre hairpin in his Maserati 4CLT, number 50, during the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix. Captured mid-turn on the paved street circuit, his dark, streamlined car follows the racing line marked by tire tracks. On the inside of the bend, men stand beside the distinctive white trackside structure. Beyond the lush Mediterranean trees, the densely populated city climbs the hillside, with spectators lining the course in the distance.
