Description

Elvis’s iconic profile in 1957, obtained by his Fort Hood cohort

Fantastic vintage 8 x 10 program photo from 1957 of the King in a near-profile pose, taken from the inside of Presley’s 1957 Photo Folio, signed in blue ballpoint, “Thanks, Elvis Presley.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance from the widow of Jerry Ledford, Elvis’s Second Lieutenant while at Fort Hood, stating that her husband was in the Army and assigned to basic training at Fort Hood at the same time Elvis was there, and that he occasionally helped to ‘smuggle’ Elvis off of the base in an effort to evade fans and paparazzi; near the end of his training, Elvis signed pages of a souvenir photo booklet for them. A fabulous image of Presley from the late 1950s, enhanced by its excellent provenance. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
