Statue Of Elvis Presley At 13 Outside His Birthplace In Tupelo

Description
Bronze statue 'Elvis At 13' outside Elvis Presley birthplace house Tupelo. Mississippi. USA
At the suggestion of an Elvis fan from Ireland, the Elvis Presley Foundation commissioned an impressionistic bronze likeness of Elvis at age 13 to be displayed at the Elvis Presley Birthplace Park.
Elvis is portrayed in oversized overalls, a full open-collar shirt and plain shoes as evidence of the poverty and humbleness of those early years.
The statue is life-sized and displayed at ground level so that fans can more directly relate to Elvis as a person. The sculptor worked from photographs now displayed in the museum to determine Elvis’ facial features, hairline and general body size.
The sculptor envisioned Elvis walking to the Tupelo Overlook where he would sit and play his guitar and dream of a better life. In August 2002, the statue was unveiled and dedicated to fans worldwide.
