Beskrivelse
Discover the early days of Elvis Presley through the lens of photographer Alfred Wertheimer, who captured the young star just as he was on the verge of fame. This collection offers an intimate glimpse into the birth of a music legend.
An insider’s visual journey into Elvis Presley’s rise to superstardom in 1956.
When RCA Victor asked Alfred Wertheimer to photograph a promising singer from Memphis in early 1956, he had no idea it would become the defining assignment of his career. At just 21, Elvis Presley was about to explode onto the music scene and become an icon.
Wertheimer followed Elvis closely, snapping nearly 3,000 photos that year. These images reveal a deeply personal and comprehensive portrait of a young man on the cusp of rock and roll history.
Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll compiles Wertheimer’s most striking photographs from that pivotal year, along with memorable shots from 1958 when Elvis was sent to an army base in Germany.
Adding to the book’s unique charm, each chapter features posters from Hatch Show Print, one of America’s oldest letterpress shops, known for creating many of Elvis’s original 1950s posters.
