A warrior holding a spear fills this poster announcing "Actual Africa – a tour of exploration" by Frank Vincent. Vincent (1848–1916) was an American traveler and writer whose book Actual Africa, or The Coming Continent was published by D. Appleton in New York in 1895, recounting his journey around and into the continent. Posters like this one promoted such travel accounts to a public hungry for news of places few Americans would ever see. It is a document of its era and of the way Africa was presented to Western readers in the 1890s.
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.
