For this French Riviera rival to the Grand Prix in nearby Monaco, Kow gives us a sky-blue Peugeot roaring out of a bright blue hued Mediterranean seascape. As an upper-class Russian child, he was sent to Lausanne at the age of seven to learn French. The 1917 revolution wiped out his family’s fortune and made him a permanent emigre. At 19, he found a job as a draftsman for a small car maker, which led to his career as one of the greatest designers of automobile advertising.
