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

With a broad, happy expression, author Somerset Maugham sits at the white steering wheel of a Mercedes-Benz 540K Cabriolet A during the PEN-Congress in Nice, 1952. Dressed in a dark suit, he holds a banner as a smiling man in a light suit leans in beside the open convertible. In the passenger seat, a woman is partially visible, wearing a textured hat. The background features a wall of posters, including an advertisement for the Loterie Nationale.
