Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890–1954), the American-born designer celebrated for his London Underground posters, created this Ireland poster for Pan American World Airways in 1953, one of several destination posters he made for the airline in his later years. A stone castle tower rises from a green landscape of trees and fields, with IRELAND lettered in green at the top and Pan Am billed below as the World's Most Experienced Airline. A copy of the poster is held in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.
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.
