Cowboys and towering saguaro cactus fill this 1974 Delta Air Lines poster for Arizona, illustrated in lively detail on a clean white ground. It comes from Delta's mid-1970s run of destination posters, when the airline was promoting the cities and sunshine states across its growing route map. By then Delta had come a long way from its roots: it began in 1925 as a crop-dusting operation in the Mississippi River Delta, which gave the airline its name, started passenger service in 1929, and in 1959 became the first airline to fly the Douglas DC-8. The artist of this poster 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.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
