Elvis Presley in his dressing room with Sammy Davis Jr. and - Lot 57
Elvis Presley in his dressing room with Sammy Davis Jr. and friends before the Las Vegas concert, 1969 Vintage silver print Dimensions: 25.5 x 20 cm Note : Rare, intimate photograph showing Elvis Presley in his dressing room, surrounded by Sammy Davis Jr. and close collaborators, shortly before a concert in Las Vegas in 1969. The scene, captured off-stage, reveals a relaxed, complicit atmosphere, contrasting with the icon's public image. The presence of Sammy Davis Jr, a major figure in the Rat Pack, lends the image an additional historical and cultural dimension, at the crossroads of music, show business and the African-American history of American entertainment. The tight framing, the proximity of the bodies and the immediacy of the shot give this print a strong documentary value, far superior to a promotional photograph.
