Mercedes-Benz W196 from Stirling Moss "Lucky For Some" during the Monaco Grand Prix 1955
The print shows Sir Stirling Moss in the Mercedes W196 leading Ascari's Lancia D50 and Trintignant's Ferrari 625 through the Station Hairpin.

It also gave Ferrari their only F1 grand prix victory of 1955. Ferrari did not win again at Monaco for another 20 years
