Limited Edition Fine Art Photograph to Commemorate 40 Years Since Elvis Presley Died
On August 16th 1977 Elvis Presley died at his home Graceland in Memphis Tennessee. He was just 42 years old. For half of his life he was probably the most famous person on the planet. Now 40 years later he is still instantly recognisable and part of our popular culture. In Ireland only this year the National Lottery started using his song "If I Can Dream" in their advertising campaigns. Whether is the young 50's Elvis, The 60's movie star or the 70's Las Vegas superstar his image is iconic.
In November last year I was lucky enough to be able to visit Memphis and Graceland to experience this corner of Rock and Roll history. It is amazing to see even 40 years after Elvis died that people from all over the world come to visit his "gaff" (Irish translation for "house"). Although he was born in Tupelo Elvis moved to Memphis when he was thirteen that is where he called home for the rest of his life. Memphians are very proud of their famous son and the fact he stayed in Memphis and didn't move to the Hollywood Hills or some other celebrity hang out.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of his passing I am presenting a limited edition of the below photograph depicting Elvis' fans graffiti at the gates of his home Graceland in Memphis. The edition is going to be only 99 16x20 inch prints done on archival quality 308gsm photo rag paper. Each print will be signed and numbered. A nice gift for the Elvis fan in your life :) I hope you enjoy it.
