“Elvis who?” was photographer
Alfred Wertheimer
’s response when, in early
1956
, RCA Victor asked him to photograph an up-and-coming crooner from Memphis. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old,
Elvis Presley
was—as we now know—about to become a legend.
A fly on the wall in Presley's presence,
Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Elvis
that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project
immortalized a young man in the very process of making history
.
Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll
collects Wertheimer’s most remarkable Elvis shots from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 pictures of the star being shipped off to an army base in Germany.
Each chapter is illustrated with a poster by Hatch Show Print
, one of the oldest letterpress print shops in America, which created many early Elvis posters in the 1950s.
