The Shah of Persia and Soraya. Nice 1957. Car: Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

On an airport tarmac in Nice, 1957, the Shah of Persia, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, stands beside his wife, Soraya. Dressed in a stylish white, short-sleeved dress and a matching hat, she gazes toward him. In the foreground is their light-blue Mercedes-Benz 300 SL convertible, its chrome bumper gleaming under a clear sky. The tail of a propeller plane, registration 'PH-LDD', is visible in the background, anchoring the scene within an active airport.
