An old Irish round tower rises over a quiet country road in this "Ireland" poster, where a horse and cart passes a cluster of whitewashed cottages. The Irish International Airlines name belonged to Aer Lingus's transatlantic side, and posters under that name were aimed squarely at American travelers. Transatlantic flying began on 28 April 1958, when the first Aerlinte Eireann service left Dublin and Shannon for New York, and in 1960 Boeing 720 jets took over the run to New York and Boston. The artist of this design 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.
