American Airlines issued this poster for the 1964–65 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens. Against a dark sky, stylized skyscrapers frame the Unisphere, the twelve-story stainless-steel globe built as the symbol of the fair and its theme, "Peace Through Understanding." Dealer records credit the design to Henry Benscathy (1909–1996). The Unisphere still stands in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, near the tennis center that hosts the U.S. Open, one of the best-loved survivors of the fair.
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.
