Yacht Christina of Aristotle Onassis lit up in harbor. Monaco 1954.

A long-exposure captures the bustling Monaco harbor at night in 1954. Moored on the left, Aristotle Onassis's yacht, the Christina, is entirely outlined with strings of golden lights, its form reflected in the calm water. Below a terrace festooned with warm bulbs, the bright streaks of car headlights trace the road. Across the water, the illuminated town rises up the hillside, crowned by the grand buildings of Monaco-Ville against the dark sky.
