Robert Manzon, a victor's laurel wreath around his neck, beams from the cockpit of his Gordini 23S. His gleaming trophy rests on the car before him, a prize for winning the Prix de Monte Carlo. In 1952, the traditional Monaco Grand Prix was transformed into a two-day event for sports cars, and Manzon triumphed in the Sunday race for vehicles up to two litres. Behind a barrier of hay bales, a crowd of spectators in mid-century attire witnesses the joyous moment.
