Elvis Presley 16-Month 2008 Calendar 'The Wertheimer Collection'
History
This calendar features iconic black-and-white photographs of Elvis Presley taken by Alfred Wertheimer, one of the most celebrated photographers of the King of Rock and Roll. Wertheimer captured intimate and candid moments of Elvis during 1956, a pivotal year in his career when he was transitioning from regional performer to international superstar. These photographs are considered among the most important visual documentation of Elvis's early career. The Wertheimer Collection calendars became popular collectibles among Elvis fans and music memorabilia enthusiasts. Such items appeal to dedicated Elvis collectors, vintage music memorabilia enthusiasts, and fans of 1950s American pop culture who value authentic photographic documentation of this cultural icon. The sealed condition of this calendar adds to its desirability, as unopened Elvis merchandise from this era has become increasingly scarce and sought-after in the collector market.
