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

Author Somerset Maugham, mouth open in animated conversation, sits at the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A. On the pavement in Nice, Peter Ustinov looks towards him as a small crowd gathers. This candid moment was captured during the 1952 PEN-Congress, against a backdrop of posters advertising the Loterie Nationale for the Grand Prix de Paris.
