A woman carrying a basket stands before a lake and a cone-shaped volcano on a warm yellow ground in this 1950 Pan American World Airways poster, "Fly by Clipper to Guatemala." Volcanoes and highland lakes define the Guatemalan landscape, and the Maya women of the highlands, known for their handwoven textiles, were a recurring subject of the country in travel art. The artist is not recorded. Nineteen fifty was also the year the airline changed its name from Pan American Airways to Pan American World Airways, reflecting a route network that by then circled the globe.
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.
