This collection consists of two items: A Hills Brothers coffee can with a wraparound image of Ansel Adams' "Winter Morning, Yosemite Valley, California" and a flat version of the same image, on tin, before it was shaped into a can. The can has the original plastic lid with the Hills Bros. name and logo. The coffee cans were made in 1969 in a collaboration between Adams and Hills Bros. Coffee Company. The company licensed Adams' photograph "Winter Morning, Yosemite Valley" to reproduce on its three-pound coffee cans, and sold them in a limited edition.
