1957 Pair of Photographs of Elvis Presley at Press Conference Before His Concerts on March 31, 1957, at Detroit's Olympia Stadium

While the processing date printed in the border of these two photos states "MAY 57," they capture Elvis Presley during his pre-concert press conference on March 31 of that year, at Detroit's Olympia Stadium. By this time in his career, Elvis was completely at ease in from of a crowded room of reporters, as we see in these two images. His relaxed and affable posture are indicative of a young star now in complete control of his situation. (The following offering in this auction presents a group of photos of Elvis PERFORMING that night-check it out!) The photographs both measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Both are printed on era-appropriate "KODAK VELOX PAPER." One photo is almost completely free of distresses (Near Mint), and the other has two large vertical creases from being folded down to fit in a wallet, most likely. Serendipitously, neither crease touches Elvis' image. Excellent condition.
