Piero Taruffi, (48) Ferrari 555, Louis Chiron, (32) Lancia D50. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Piero Taruffi, in his No. 48 Ferrari 555, speeds along the street circuit during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, with Louis Chiron’s No. 32 Lancia D50 visible further down the track. Spectators line the road behind a barrier of hay bales, while others watch from the balconies and shuttered windows of the surrounding buildings. The bright sunlight casts distinct shadows across the scene, where an ornate bench sits empty on the sidewalk in the foreground.
