The "King of Rock and Roll", Elvis Presley (1935-1977) dominated the music charts, starting with 1956's number one hit Heartbreak Hotel, the same year he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
His showbiz career was interrupted when he was conscripted into military service in 1958. Two years later, Elvis returned to performing live on stage. Aloha from Hawaii, Presley's 1973 concert, was the first concert to be broadcast globally via satellite.
Forever popular with collectors, Elvis continues to wow audiences 30 years after his death. Presley is regularly top of the highest earning dead celebrity list, generating $52m income in 2008 alone.
This candid photograph of the star, taken in the summer of 1959, shows Elvis in Wiesbaden, Germany, in full military uniform shows Elvis Presley's autograph on the reverse.
The photograph was originally acquired by the Aunt of one of Priscilla Presley's classmates, in Wiesbaden, Germany.
A clean-shaven Elvis is shown smiling generously, a woman's hand on his shoulder. His uniform badges are clearly visible, and a cap covers his cropped hair.
On the reverse, Elvis has written his autograph in blue ballpoint. The piece is in very good condition and measures 2¼ x 2¼. Small mounting remnant to top of reverse. Some surface loss affecting a single stroke of last name.
