Publisher's Synopsis
Wertheimer's unobtrusive photographs of Elvis in performance, with his fans, in the recording studio, and at home with his family present a unique look at one of the world's most famous cultural figures. These images were the first and the last unguarded look at Elvis, and also constitute an important visual document of post–World War II America.
With hundreds of gorgeously reproduced high-quality prints,Elvisis the result of a special alchemy between an exceptionally talented photographer and a charismatic young man on the brink of superstardom.
