Taschen's coffee table book \"Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll\" contains more than 300 photographs of Elvis from Alfred Wertheimer's legendary portfolio. Extraordinary in their intimacy and unparalleled in scope, these photographs immortalize a young man in the process of making history.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\"Elvis who?\" was photographer Alfred Wertheimer's reaction when RCA Victor asked him to photograph an up-and-coming Memphis crooner in early 1956. Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of a lifetime: Elvis Presley was only 21 years old and - as we now know - he was about to become a legend.<\/p>\n<p>Like a fly on the wall in Presley's presence, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Elvis that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man on the verge of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man who was in the process of making history.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll collects Wertheimer's most remarkable Elvis recordings from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 photographs of the star being shipped to an army base in Germany. Each chapter is illustrated with a poster from Hatch Show Print, one of the oldest book printers in America, which made many early Elvis posters in the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nTitle: Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll<br \/>\nAuthor: Alfred Wertheimer<br \/>\nPublisher: <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/taschen-books\">TASCHEN<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 322 x 231 x 37 mm<br \/>\nSize: 336 pages<br \/>\nWeight: 2437 grams<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nMaterial: Hardcover<br \/>\nISBN: 9783836583268<\/p>\n<p><em>View from our extensive collection of luxury\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/photography-books\">coffee table books<\/a>\u00a0featuring photography by the world's best-known photographers such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/theme\/helmut-newton-books\">Helmut Newton<\/a>, David Lachapelle, Anton Corbijn, Peter Lindbergh and many others.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beleef Elsiv van dichtbij.
