The King of Rock ’n’ Roll clutches his baby daughter Lisa Marie in a photo from 1968 which has recently been unearthed.
It is one of four photographs and four Polaroid pictures of Elvis Presley from the 60s and early 70s which have not been widely seen before.
They are being sold by Omega Auctions of Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, next week.
The special snaps come as Elvis’ Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee has been vandalised with spray-paint.

The former home of The King, where he lived for 20 years, was transformed into a museum dedicated to the late legend after his death in 1977.
Fans have been leaving messages in memory of their idol on a tribute wall which surrounds the expansive property – and the memorial was targeted by vandals on Monday night.
Slogans such as “F**k Trump”, “Defund the police” and “Black Lives Matter” have been scrawled across the wall in spray paint.

The wall runs along Elvis Presley Boulevard and has become a Mecca for fans wanting to pay their respects to the music legend.
The graffiti covers up many of the messages left by visitors spanning more than 30 years.

Workers with pressure washers were seen attempting to clean off the spray paint from the wall the following morning.
The city’s Levitt Shell amphitheatre in Overton Park, where Presley performed his first paid concert, was also targeted by vandals.
