Nixon Meets The King!

Fact IS stranger than fiction and this vintage photograph of former President Nixon and Elvis Presley, together in the White House, is definitely a classic example!
Of all the requests made each year to the National Archives for reproductions of photographs and documents, one item has been requested more than any other. That item, more requested than the Bill of Rights or even the Constitution of the United States, is the photograph of Elvis Presley and Richard M. Nixon shaking hands on the occasion of Presley's visit to the White House.

On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Presley was a deeply religious and unusually conservative American. He was also given to highly impetuous acts. One day in 1970 he decided that he wanted to become a drug enforcement agent and proceeded to Washington, D.C., to ask President Nixon to sign him up.

Never one to let an opportunity slip through his fingers, the chief executive consented to the impromptu meeting. Nixon gave him a handshake, a badge, and his thanks. Elvis gave Nixon a gift he'd brought with him: a silver-plated revolver.

A truly unique collector's item for both Nixon and Elvis fans alike! This historical, stranger-than-fiction black and white vintage photograph is professionally framed in a gallery-style matte black molding. It's richly double-matted in dark slate gray and brushed silver - both made of acid-free materials.

This great-looking framed photograph comes to you ready to hang and enjoy for years to come. What a great gift idea this is - for Christmas, birthdays, housewarming, whatever!

This is an 8x10 vintage black and white glossy photograph of that historical day in the White House on December 21, 1970 - the day that Nixon met the King!
