Pierre Orsini (F) / Desplas, MGA. Tour de France de l'Automobile 1958, Grande Corniche, Nice.
Pierre Orsini and his co-driver Desplas pilot their MGA, number 138, along the winding Grande Corniche in Nice during the 1958 Tour de France de l'Automobile. Motion blur on the wire-spoke wheels of the light-colored roadster conveys its speed as it rounds a bend on the sunny, terraced hillside. A low stone wall lines the road, with palm and cypress trees visible beyond. The blurred vertical bars of a fence in the foreground suggest the photographer's proximity to the action.
