Elvis at 21... some Wertheimer classics

Post by Bilbobaggins »

Alfred Wertheimer was able to capture Elvis in the 50's like no one else did. You can find a lot of his photo art in the wonderful book 'Elvis at 21' (or 'Elvis and the birth of rock and roll' by Taschen). These are such great books that either one deserves a place on every fan's bookshelve.

These are some of my favorites...
