This American Airlines poster sells New Zealand through a round vignette set on a white ground, its central figure framed in fresh greens and blues. A related early-1970s American Airlines New Zealand poster uses the same circular device to show skiing, golf, motor racing and a leaping trout, pitching the country to active travelers. The circle works like a window: a glimpse of somewhere far away, brought within reach by jet travel. The artist and exact date of this design are not recorded.
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.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
