BOOK DESIGN & PRODUCTION: TWO DAYS IN MONTE CARLO
Lenses on the Legends
In 1967, the photographer Sture Lindvall documented the 25th Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. The result is an astonishing portrait of Formula One at its tipping point; 1967 was the last year before sponsorship was fully established and the world of Formula One was forever changed.
Grit and Glamour
The book Two days in Monte Carlo captures the thrills and the drama of the event. It provides a glimpse of the glamour and the beautiful people surrounding the legendary circuit and shows that Formula One is not only about the big teams and the dollars at stake, but also about the passion for the sport.
A legacy reborn
For many years, Sture Lindvall’s unique photos were hidden away until rediscovered by the photographer’s son, Richard Lindvall. Seeing the rawness, energy and emotion of this exciting era of the Grand Prix through the lens of his father's camera, Richard was captivated and wanted to give life to these lost negatives. Together with Neumeister, he created a book that not only revives his father’s legacy but also immortalises an iconic moment in motorsport history. A dedication to all those brave drivers who entertained us and often gave their lives for the sport.
Full focus
With an incredible collection of images, the photos are front and center in the design: full-page and spread layouts let them reveal their full impact.
Behind the shots
More than a documentation of the race itself, ‘Two Days in Monte Carlo’ offers a rare look at the photographer’s process. The inclusion of original contact sheets reveals the raw material behind the final selections – moments of hesitation, experimentation, and instinct. It’s a tribute not only to what was captured, but to how it was captured.
Printed on Munken
‘Two Days in Monte Carlo’ is printed on Munken Polar Rough 150 g, a paper that enhances the depth and richness of the blacks in the images. The book was printed by Göteborgstryckeriet – now Printed By Wind – using a custom black-on-black technique that gives the monochrome images their striking depth and definition.
Black on black
The book comes in a slipcase covered in black fabric. The surface is debossed and lacquered to create a tactile feel and deliver the perfect premium touch.
