The year that would have been his 75th, is now being noted and celebrated by Elvis Presley fans. Fortunately, there are a selection of photographs by photographer Wertheimer of Elvis at age 21 that are available for viewing for those who cannot afford to buy the Welcome Books new entry nor travel to the exhibitions featuring the pictures.

Even more intriguing is the slideshow, A Look Inside, that is offered at the Elvis, 1956 site and displays  68 pictures from the book, including an expanded number of alternate views that comprise the situation now known as   'the kiss.' Perhaps more touching are the pictures of a fan apparently in New York City wearing a hat (Number 30 and 31), who must have been given an autograph by Elvis, and who is visibly overcome after he moves on.

The following are events and locations for exhibitions (with differing names); the show  will travel for three years.
