The shopkeeper, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and dressed in European clothing, gestures towards a beautiful pendant in the window. Lorna, a striking figure in her African print dress and headwrap, listens intently, her expressive face reflecting her deep engagement in the exchange. The vibrant colours and rich textures of the bustling city of Cairo serve as the backdrop to this intriguing moment. The shop windows display an array of intricate jewellery, shimmering in the sunlight, while the busy street is filled with the sounds and smells of the Middle East.

This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Cairo and the connections that can be forged across borders and cultures. Lorna's presence in the city, as a renowned dancer and cultural ambassador, added to the vibrant cultural scene of the 1970s, a time of great artistic and political change. The photograph also highlights the shopkeeper's European attire, which was a common sight in Cairo during that era, reflecting the city's diverse and complex history.
