Chicago's towers are reduced to bold, stylized shapes on a cream ground in this American Airlines poster, each skyscraper mirrored by its own reflection, the way the skyline doubles itself in the waters of Lake Michigan. Chicago runs deep in American's history: its predecessor, American Airways, flew a Chicago to St. Louis airmail route, a contract reportedly once flown by Charles Lindbergh, and the city remained a cornerstone of the airline's network through the jet age. The artist of this 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.
