Delta's hometown gets the full treatment in this 1974 poster: an illustrated collage of Atlanta set on a white ground, with gleaming modern towers, a sports stadium and touches of the Old South side by side. Delta had made Atlanta its home after starting out as a crop-dusting operation in the Mississippi River Delta in 1925, and the city's growth and the airline's grew together. In 1959 Delta became the first airline to fly the Douglas DC-8, and in 1960 the first to fly the Convair 880, jets that put Atlanta firmly on the national map. 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.
