Bright red and full of fun, this "Fly Aer Lingus to Paris" poster from around 1950 sets a jaunty cartoon Frenchman dressed in white in front of a row of Paris buildings, with "Paris" lettered in sunny yellow. The city held a special place in the Irish airline's story: when Aer Lingus added Paris in 1946, it became the first city on the European mainland the airline served, flown in those years with Douglas DC-3s from the still-new Dublin Airport. The artist of this cheerful design is 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.
