Finland is famous as the land of a thousand lakes, and this 1960 Finnair poster puts one front and center. A young woman sits relaxed on a rock at the water's edge, looking out over the calm lake, while the headline promises a jet flight to "Friendly Finland." The word Jet was the selling point at the turn of the 1960s, when European airlines were moving from propeller aircraft to the new jet age. The artist is not recorded on our copy, but the clean, summery composition is a fine example of Nordic travel advertising of the period.
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.
