He was the portly, brooding director, who masterminded classic films such as Psycho and The Birds.
Now previously unpublished photographs of the Leytonstone legend have been unearthed and are set to go on sale at the Antiquarian Book Fair next week.
The album contains 15 holiday snaps of a 23-year-old Hitchcock, one with him frolicking at Shoreham-by-Sea with his future wife Alma, and his boss and mentor, the director Graham (Jack) Cutts, then a leading figure in the British film industry.
Another image depicts Hitchock not in his usual attire of a suit, but instead wearing a dress, playing tennis.
The Alfred Hitchcock Photo Album is being offered by Christian White of Modernfirsteditions.com for £15,000 and will be exhibited at the London International Antiquarian Bookfair at Olympia (Stand H07) Hammersmith Road, from Thursday, May 22 until Saturday, May 24.
