Monte Carlo, Monaco, May 27, 1966
Archival pigment print, printed 2025 · Edition of 25
Printed from the photographer's original slide.
The party continues: Bal du Second Empire. While the Monaco Grand Prix may have ended, the party doesn’t stop for the “in-crowd”. On May 27, 1966, the Opéra de Monte Carlo was transformed for a lavish occasion, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Monte-Carlo and the 150th anniversary of the death of Napoléon III. The ball was opened by Princess Grace wearing a magnificent coronation tiara that had once belonged to Joséphine Beauharnais. My father was there with his camera.
These photographs were never published. They are what you see when the press isn't looking.
