On an August morning in 1951, two American women met for the first time in the corridor of the Hotel Berchielli in Florence. Ninalee Allen Craig — as she had been known since her second marriage, which ended in divorce — died of complications of lung cancer Tuesday in Toronto, her stepson, Alex Passi, said. When the photograph was celebrated in 2011 at the Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto, Craig smiled at the suggestion that the men’s behaviour had concerned her. Her father, W. Rowland Allen, was personnel director for a department store, and her mother, Mary (Church) Allen, was a homemaker. Craig and Orkin met in Paris soon after their earlier encounter in Florence, and more photographs were taken.
