Edmond Maurus (1903–1977) designed this 1940s Air France poster for "Afrique Equatoriale – Afrique Occidentale." Rays of sun light the desert in red, orange and yellow, silhouetting the earthen minarets of the Djinguereber Mosque in Timbuktu as an airliner passes overhead. Bold white Art Deco lettering and Air France's winged seahorse emblem complete the design. Maurus was one of the airline's regular poster artists, and his designs carried its message across Africa, the Atlantic and the Far East.
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.
