Farouk, ex King of Egypt, at the Nice train station, Buffet de la Gare, 1954. Car: 1947 Nash 600 Ambassador Custom

Seated alone in a booth at the Buffet de la Gare in Nice, Farouk, the former King of Egypt, looks directly at the camera with a slight smile in 1954. Dressed in a pinstriped three-piece suit, he rests a hand on the table, where a pair of dark sunglasses and an ashtray holding a cigar lie on the white tablecloth beside his place setting. The dark wood paneling of the restaurant provides a formal backdrop.
