Guy Arnoux (1886–1951) drew this rare 1946 poster for Air France's service to North America. In warm orange and deep blue, a Lockheed Constellation heads from France toward the skyscrapers of New York, the towers standing in for the whole continent. It was lithographed on stone by H. Baille in Paris. The Constellation was the new long-range airliner of the day, the aircraft that carried Air France across the Atlantic after the war; the airline was still flying it on its longest routes in 1952, when it opened service from Paris to Tokyo.
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.
