On a light blue ground, this 1938 Air France poster opens up its airliners like engineering drawings, with cutaway views revealing the cabins, cockpits and engines of several aircraft, including a flying boat. Air France fleet posters of 1937–38, credited to the artist N. Gérale, showed the Bloch 220 "Pullman" for European routes, the Dewoitine D.338, and Lioré et Olivier flying boats for the long water crossings toward South America. The airline itself was barely five years old, having been formed in October 1933 from the merger of five French carriers.

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.
