Cartoon diners settle in to a steak dinner on a bright orange ground in this Braniff International Airways poster for Argentina, a nod to the country's famous beef. The artist is not recorded; Braniff's humorous South American posters of the mid-1950s were generally issued without credit. The Dallas-based airline had become Braniff International Airways in 1948 when it opened its Latin American routes, and it extended them to Buenos Aires in May 1950, making Argentina the far end of a network that began in the American Midwest.
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.
