Prince Aga Khan and one of the doves of his wife, the Begum, at Villa Yakymour, Le Cannet 1956. Aga Khan chose the name of the mansion. It stands for the name of the Begum (Yaki) and for love (amour).

Prince Aga Khan III sits in his wheelchair on the manicured lawn of Villa Yakymour in Le Cannet, 1956. Dressed in a light suit jacket and shaded by a wide-brimmed hat, he is accompanied by a white dove, one of many belonging to his wife, the Begum. The Prince named the villa himself by combining his wife’s nickname, Yaki, with ‘amour’, the French word for love. Crutches lean against his chair near a small table set for an outdoor reception.
