This 1957 TWA poster sells the airplane as much as the destination: a Lockheed Constellation glints in the sun as it breaks through towering clouds over the California hills, under the headline "Fly TWA to San Francisco" and the boast "World-Proved Constellations." Lockheed built the triple-tailed Constellation from 1943 to 1958, and it was the backbone of TWA's fleet until the jet age. The artist 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.
