Description
ANSEL ADAMS Winter Morning Yosemite Valley Hills Bros. Coffee Inc., San Francisco, United States, 1969. 6x7x6 in. with original Hills Brother lid
In 1969, Hills Brothers Coffee Inc. released a limited number of 3-pound coffee tins featuring Ansel Adams' Winter Morning, Yosemite Valley, California, printed on the exterior as part of holiday collaboration with Adams.
These tins are extremely collectible. Each tin is a unique object; the plastic lids are plain without logo, and brightness and contrast may vary from the website images.
"Imogen used to give me a hard time about what she considered my too-commercial side [...] In any case, I know she disapproved of that Hills Brothers coffee can that came out about 1968 - the one with one of my Yosemite snow scenes on it. She made that very clear. She sent me one of the cans with a marijuana plant growing in it!" Ansel Adams in an interview with Judy Dater.
