Set against a sunny yellow ground, this Pan Am poster for Mexico centers on a stylized Aztec-inspired figure holding a pinwheel, mixing the country's ancient art with a playful, festive touch under the invitation to Fly by Clipper to Mexico. Mexico was one of Pan American's oldest markets: according to the SFO Museum, Mexico City had been a Pan Am destination since the early 1930s, and the airline promoted it in posters for decades. The artist and exact date of this design are 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.
