Wedding of Sidney Bechet and Elizabeth Ziegler. Antibes 1951.

On their wedding day in Antibes, 1951, Sidney Bechet and Elizabeth Ziegler ride in an open-topped carriage decorated with large white flowers. Bechet, dressed in a white suit, smiles and waves a handkerchief to the surrounding crowd. Ziegler, wearing a light-colored dress with a cross pendant, raises a hand to her mouth in a celebratory gesture. Onlookers watch the procession from the street and from the windows of a building housing a restaurant that serves "Cucina Italiana."
