American illustrator Adolph Treidler (1886–1981), who studied at the Henri School of Art in New York and made posters for both world wars, designed this lively collage for Aerolineas Argentinas. On a white ground, the poster splits Buenos Aires into colorful sections, from the city's landmark obelisk to a gaucho and the nearby beaches, with a small Douglas DC-6 flying through. It belongs to the postwar boom in tourist travel, when the newly formed national airline, flying since December 1950, set out to win visitors from abroad.
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.
