"Elvis who?" was photographer Alfred Wertheimer's response when, in
early 1956, an RCA Victor publicist 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. Trailing Presley like
a shadow, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Presley 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.
