This "Venezia" travel poster needs no skyline to place the viewer in Venice. Instead it closes in on two of the city's most recognizable details: the tall, toothed prow of a gondola and the striped wooden mooring poles that line the canals outside palaces and landing stages. Set against a strong red, the shapes become almost abstract, a confident piece of graphic shorthand. The artist and date are not recorded, but the design belongs to the tradition of Italian tourism posters that sold the country through a single bold emblem.
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.
