Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

Poised for the start of the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, an event exceptionally transformed into a race for sports cars, a grid of racers lines a sun-drenched, tree-lined road. In the foreground, Luigi Stagnoli, in helmet and goggles, sits in his Ferrari 225S (90). To his left is the dark, streamlined Jaguar C-Type (78) of Stirling Moss. Behind them, a field of vintage racers including cars from Aston Martin and Talbot-Lago stretches up the curving road. Crowds gather to watch as the bright light casts long, sharp shadows, heightening the atmosphere of anticipation.
