A young woman in Swedish folk costume raises a herding horn to her lips in this teal-toned poster promoting Värmland, the forest and lake province of west-central Sweden, as "an unspoiled mecca for tourists." The horn call and traditional dress speak of summer pastures and country customs, exactly the unhurried rural Sweden the poster set out to sell. Philip Williams Posters records a version of this Värmland design from the 1930s, signed Beckman and printed by J. Olsens Lithograph, showing a woman in traditional dress before a fertile countryside.
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.
