Elvis “The King” Poster

I found this while browsing Allposters.com. I’m still trying to search out the provenance and figure out when and where it was taken. It’s obviously the 50s sometime, but I haven’t quite figured out the details yet.

Nonetheless, it’s a great poster. Really captures the power and passion of Elvis in action in his prime.

Classic Warhol Double Elvis Poster

If you were only going to buy one Elvis poster in your life, this would have to be it.

It’s the classic Andy Warhol “Double Elvis” poster from his “Silver Elvis” series.

Warhol produced the series of pictures in 1963 based on images from the 1960 film Flaming Star. He printed the portrait 28 times in black paint, and then rolled it onto a metallic silver background using various combinations. He produced a variety of single, double, and triple superimposed pictures. The double is my personal favourite.

This version is real top-of-the-range. It’s made via a Giclee printing process which delivers a fine stream of ink resulting in vivid, pure color and exceptional detail that is suitable for museum or gallery display. This print is produced on a 300 gsm, acid-free and cotton-textured watercolor paper.

Sure, it’s expensive. You can get the same picture in much cheaper versions.

But if you want something that looks as good as an art gallery version – this should be your choice.

Classic 1968 Elvis Comeback Poster

I love this poster. It’s probably me just reading too much into it, but I seem to see both confidence, and yet also a bit of trepidation: perhaps wondering if this is actually going to work.

It’s a classic image from a wonderful event.

The poster is 20in by 20in (including a white border round it).

Overall Rating 4/5
