Warhol originally painted 32 canvases of different varieties of , Campbell’s soup cans between 1961 and 1962 in his quest to create fine art based on a recognizable product of certifiably popular culture. Andy Warhol once said Campbell’s Soup Cans were his favorite creation. He said of Campbell’s Tomato Soup, “I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.” His earlier work in advertising inspired him, and the Campbell’s Soup Cans in particular, symbolized mass-produced, print advertising.

The original Sunday B. Morning editions from the 1970’s are noted and recognized in Feldman & Schellmann's, Andy Warhol Prints, Catalog Raisonne’ Book. The stamps on the verso of those early editions were in black ink. Since the 1990’s, Sunday B. Morning has continued to publish the prints, but with blue ink on the verso.
