Edward Duke of Windsor and his dog fighting against a sudden blast at Nice Airport. The Duke came to the airport to fetch the Duchess of Windsor and then they drove on to the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. Some years before, the Duke and the Duchess had lived nearby at the Château de la Croe which later became the property of Mr. Onassis. In the gardens of the Château there still is a small tombstone in memory of their pet dog, inscribed "Preezie A Faithful Little Friend of Edward and Wallis. Duke and Duchess of Windsor". Nice 1954.

At Nice Airport in 1954, Edward, Duke of Windsor, holds his fedora against a sudden blast of wind as he walks across the tarmac. Dressed in a light-colored suit, he leads his pug, which trots eagerly ahead on its leash. The Duke had arrived to meet the Duchess of Windsor, after which they would continue to the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. The bright sunlight casts distinct shadows of the man, the dog, and the wing of a nearby airplane, with ground equipment visible in the background.
