- A unique candid signed photo of Elvis Presley
- Taken in 1959 during his military service in West Germany
Elvis Presley (1935 – 1977) was one of the most iconic and influential performers of the 20th century, known to his fans simply as "The King".
As one of the originators of rock and roll, he created a music style which changed the world and inspired generations of artists from the Beatles to the present day.
Presley remains the best-selling solo artist of all-time, with estimated record sales of 600 million, and performed over numerous styles including rockabilly, pop, blues and gospel.
Today millions of fans flock from around the world to visit his former home of Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, and rare items of his memorabilia regularly sell for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
This vintage candid photo was taken in the summer of 1959, whilst Elvis served with the U.S Army in West Germany.
It was taken by a schoolfriend of his future wife Priscilla, after the couple met in Weisbaden near where Elvis was stationed.
The glossy photograph measures 2.5" x 2.5", and is signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint.
Small mounting remnant to top of reverse, and surface loss affecting a single stroke of last name, otherwise fine condition.
A charming and completely unique piece of Elvis memorabilia.
Provenance: ex Stanley Gibbons.
