Rare New Photos of Elvis Uncovered
Posted by Jessica Derschowitz

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Elvis Presley archivists have found three rare photos dating to 1957 that show the young singer greeting fans at the gates of Graceland.


The pictures show Presley interacting with fans standing behind the gate and perched along the wall that surround his Memphis home.

Negatives of the photos were discovered as archivists pored through a vast collection of documents from the office of Vernon Presley, Elvis' father.


Archivist Angie Marchese of Elvis Presley Enterprises said the photos have never before been published.


The pictures will be displayed at Graceland beginning Thursday and running through Aug. 16.


The three uncovered photos are below:

Thanks, Edith.  It's always a fine day when new pictures are discovered.  It's amazing, isn't it?  No obvious signs of bodyguards.  Just the King and his adoring fans enjoying a moment.  Good times that can only be remembered, not relived.

A great find.

No-one could match the pre-Army Elvis in terms of high quality musical output and sheer coolness.
