Description
MEM Two black and white photographs of Elvis Presley taken by William Speer in 1954 during Elvis`s first professional photo shot.

The first photo is a close-up of Elvis's face, the second one is a head and shoulders photo of Elvis wearing a white jacket. Both overall approx. size 20 x 16". NEITHER signed by Elvis. These photographs come from the first set of professional shots taken of Presley, who was 19.

These pictures come from the last batch of photographs printed by Speer and come from his Estate. Minor edge wear, particularly at corners. This lot also comes with Speer's original cardboard suitcase, approx. size 54 x 42cm.Viewing highly recommended.
