5 5/8 x 3 7/8 in (14.4 x 9.9 cm)

This signed postcard is associated with Elvis Presley, one of the most influential cultural figures of the twentieth century and a defining force in the evolution of popular music. Widely regarded as the individual who brought rock and roll into the global mainstream, Presley's impact extended beyond music into film, fashion, youth culture, and the broader visual language of postwar America.

The postcard presents a studio portrait consistent with the visual aesthetics of Presley's early career, emphasizing youth, charisma, and carefully constructed public image. Postcards of this type were widely circulated during the mid twentieth century as affordable, highly accessible forms of celebrity imagery, functioning both as collectibles and as personal correspondence items. As such, they occupy a distinct position within popular culture ephemera.

Presley's handwritten signature appears directly on the image surface, executed in a fluid cursive style with elongated letterforms and confident stroke continuity. The ink flow shows natural variation in pressure, and the signature is positioned to remain visually prominent without obscuring the facial features of the portrait. This placement creates a balanced integration between the inscription and the photographic image, allowing the autograph to function as an integral visual component rather than an afterthought.

As a signed celebrity artifact, the postcard operates simultaneously as a cultural icon and a personal trace of one of the most recognizable figures in modern entertainment history. Within the signed memorabilia market, Elvis Presley material represents a cornerstone category, supported by enduring global recognition, cross generational appeal, and a finite body of surviving signed paper ephemera. Signed postcards, in particular, combine visual immediacy with historical context, contributing to sustained collector demand and long term cultural relevance.
