This Iberia Air Lines of Spain poster from around the 1950s presents Madrid in soft blue-gray tones. A woman in the foreground looks out toward the curved, arcaded walls of a bullring, one of the most recognizable sights of the Spanish capital and a magnet for visitors in that era. Madrid was the hub of Iberia's network, the starting point for flights across Spain, Europe and the Atlantic, so the city was a natural subject for posters printed in English for foreign travelers. The artist is not recorded on our copy.
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.
