The camera looks downward into an old, empty, storage tin. The lid is open. Inside the lid a sticker tells the consumer to “Keep the Lid Shut”, talks about the quality of the original tea and includes a tea making recipe. The sticker is signed off by the company: “Atcherley & Dawson, Tea Merchants, Sydney”. Behind the tin sit several old wooden crates, one bearing the incomplete word “Victoria” and then “Powder and “Made in Australia”. Very old newspapers line the bottom of two of the crates.

Here is an opening.
Look inside the old tin, once used to store #TeaLeaves. The #Tin is branded with the name: #Atcherley&Dawson, #TeaMerchants #Sydney.
