World's most photographed - linked in to half an hour program on BBC TV last year on Elvis, very good, please see below:

Tuesday, 16th August 2005 sees the 28th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock 'n' Roll". Elvis Aron Presley, raised in Memphis, Tennessee on gospel and Blues, was an overnight success in 1954 with "That's All Right". From then on, Elvis rose to rapid stardom and by the 1970s, Presley's image was the second most commonly reproduced in the world (the first being Mickey Mouse).

Until the 23rd October 2005 you can experience the intriguing story of Elvis at the "World's Most Photographed" exhibition at the National Potrait Gallery, in London. Leading Intellectual Property law firm, Taylor Wessing is sponsoring this exciting and fascinating exhibition, displaying works never seen before by the public.

The exhibition explores the power of the image and the nature of iconography, going beyond the often carefully constructed public image to reveal much more about the personalities, lives and intentions of the subjects. Elvis is pictured as never before with strippers in a Munich nightclub in 1959 while on national service for the US military. Elvis' clean-cut boy-next-door image could have been damaged and indeed his career destroyed if these photographs had been made public before now. 46 years later we can enjoy these photographs at the National Portrait Gallery.

Perhaps if you search under Taylor Wessing law firm or National Portrait Gallery sites you might find something? Did try and find us a link but have been having problems getting back in here today if I move out for any reason, darn it! :roll:
