Vintage glossy 8 x 10 publicity photo, signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, “Yours, Elvis Presley.” Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the son of the original recipient, who acquired the signature in 1955 or 1956, stating “All went to the show at big spring in 55 or 56 and mother was so crying about Elvis. She had a fit over him in 54 at the…Hayride…She was so thrilled at getting him to sign the picture. We all teased her about an old woman going so silly over him. She grabbed his blue silk shirt and I think she was going to tear it. But she got his autograph. I saw him sign it. This picture of Elvis was autographed by him in person in 1955-56 at the Big Spring Texas City auditorium.” Scattered creases and surface marks to image side, heavier to edges as well as several small horizontal edge tears, some scattered light silvering and some light toning and creasing to reverse, with signature largely unaffected by flaws to photo, otherwise very good condition.
