Somerset Maugham, PEN-Congress, Nice 1952. Car: Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A

Author Somerset Maugham smiles from the driver's seat of his Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A during the PEN-Congress in Nice, 1952. A younger man in a light-colored suit leans into the open-top car, also smiling widely while holding a piece of paper. The car's prominent white steering wheel is visible, as is a passenger in a cloche-style hat in the back seat. In the background, posters for the Loterie Nationale line the wall, suggesting a lively public event.
