This TWA poster from around 1951 drops the viewer into a German town square of half-timbered houses, a clock tower and a fountain, with townspeople below and a Lockheed Constellation flying overhead. It is generally attributed to Simon Greco, who drew several of TWA's early-1950s destination posters. The bold "Fly TWA" across the top and "TO GERMANY" at the base follow the house style of TWA's propeller-era series.
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.
