A red airliner races across a teal sky in this Air France poster, trailing the shadows of the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben below it, and the headline says it all: Paris to London in 75 minutes. The claim dates to the late 1930s, when Air France promoted the 75-minute crossing; one 1938 poster with the same slogan is credited to Roger de Valerio, and a French dealer notes that the earlier Farman company service had taken 2 hours 37 minutes. The artist of this particular design is not recorded in the sources we could check.
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.
