A smiling cartoon rider on a donkey carries a load of flowers across a white ground in this 1950s Braniff International Airways poster for Bogotá, Colombia. The artist is not recorded. It belongs to Braniff's playful series of illustrated Latin American destination posters from the decade after 1948, when the Dallas airline took the name Braniff International Airways and began flying south through Havana and Panama to the Andes. Rather than skylines or aircraft, these posters sold each country through a single good-humored character.
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.
