Original glossy 5 x 3.5 deckle-edge candid photograph of Elvis Presley standing at the gates of Graceland in 1957, not long after Presley moved into the mansion and the front driveway gates were installed as a security measure. The photo shows Presley, sporting his black pompadour and wearing a jacket and long pants, signing autographs for fans on the opposite side, their fingers and autograph sheets poking through the gate mesh. The photo is date-stamped along the left margin, “JUN 60,” and the reverse bears “Kodak Velox Paper” watermarks. In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing. This photograph was one of three never-before-seen images of Presley found back in 2010 when archivists discovered them in a vast collection of documents from the office of Vernon Presley, Elvis' father.
