Printed in German for travelers in Europe, this blue poster from around 1950 promises flights "nach Buenos Aires und Santiago de Chile" with Aerolineas Argentinas. A modern skyscraper rises toward the sky as an airliner passes, presenting South America as a place of new cities and fast connections. The design dates from the airline's earliest days: Aerolineas Argentinas was created in 1949 by merging four companies and began operating in December 1950, carrying the flag of Argentina across the Atlantic. The artist 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.
