Prince Akihito, later Emperor of Japan. Nice train station 1953.

Prince Akihito, the future Emperor of Japan, smiles and waves from the central window of an ornate train carriage at the Nice station in 1953. Viewed from the platform, he is flanked by an older gentleman to his left and a mustachioed man to his right, visible in adjacent windows. The luxurious interior, with its decorated ceiling and curtains, can be seen from the outside. A bright camera flash is reflected in the glass pane before the prince.
