USPS Unveils New Elvis Stamp Artwork
The stamp, due Aug. 12, shows a photo of the King of Rock and Roll from 1955.
— -- Just like his previous postage stamp from 1993, a new stamp featuring Elvis Presley shows the King of Rock and Roll in his youthful glory.
The United States Postal Service released the artwork today for the upcoming Presley stamp that will be issued on Aug. 12 as part of the agency's Music Icons series. The stamp will be dedicated on that day at Graceland in Memphis as part of the Elvis Week festivities.
The stamp artwork is a black and white photo of Presley from 1955 by William Speer, according to the USPS. There's also a gold crown on the bottom left of the stamp that pays homage to his nickname.
Presley was previously featured on a U.S. postage stamp in 1993.
