Photojournalist Alfred Wertheimer (1929-2014) had the unique privilege of documenting a 21-year-old Elvis Presley when he was on the cusp of national stardom from 1956-58. Wertheimer’s photographs show a pensive Elvis, just doing what he did: performing, spending time with his family or fans, napping, reading letters and papers, combing his hair, or listening to music. Not only are the intimate photographs of Elvis a product of Wertheimer’s artistic brilliance, they are also a witness to an incredible time in the history of photography, as well as to the birth of a star and a new chapter in the history of music. Wertheimer’s work has been the subject of several museum exhibitions throughout the world.

The lot / autograph(s) includes a LOA and lifetime authenticity guarantee from Pristine Auction as well as an official Pop Culture Vault COA for authenticity purposes.
