Description

Signed at the Memphis Fairgrounds in the early '60s

Handsome vintage circa early 1960s 7.5 x 9.5 paperstock fan club photo of Elvis, signed and inscribed in black ballpoint, "To Debbie, Elvis Presley.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 15. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing, faint toning to the lower portion, and a tiny tear to the left edge. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "During the years 1962-1963, when I was 13 or 14 years of age, I was a member of the well-known Tankers Fan Club…At that time, members of the fan club were often invited to attend movies at the Memphian Theater with Elvis Presley and to enjoy fun times at the Mid-South Fairgrounds with him on occasion. It was my privilege on one of these late night excursions to the Fairgrounds as a guest of Elvis, to ride the rollercoaster with him in the front seat! What an exciting ride it was as Elvis actually held onto me. Later that night when Elvis was standing around telling Army stories, I asked him to autograph this promotional photograph."
