This Air France poster sells France itself as the destination. A colorful village is built up in faceted, cubist-style planes, with boats drawn up at the water's edge and dark cypress trees rising between the houses, the kind of southern seaside scene travelers dreamed of reaching by air. The artist is not recorded in the sources we could check. Air France was formed in 1933 by merging several smaller French airlines, and for decades it commissioned artists to paint its destinations, building one of the richest poster collections of any airline.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
