Elvis Presley Early Signed Photograph....

Description

Elvis Presley Early Signed Photograph. Before there was "The King", there was a clean cut kid with a unique singing style and a load of ambition. Presented here is a terrific 8 x 10 glossy black and white publicity photograph -- one of Elvis' first ever -- nicely signed by Presley in blue ballpoint pen on the reverse side, "Yours, Elvis Presley." The signature was obtained in person by a Doris Jean Petry on January 5, 1955 when Elvis played at the City Auditorium in San Angelo, TX. Some minor handling wear at the edges and a vertical impression that intersects the "e" in Presley, however the impression does not detract from Presley's bold signature. Accompanied by a letter from Doris Jean Petry that details her encounter with Elvis on the evening the photograph was signed. From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection.
