This restored, vintage-style map poster lays out the reach of Aéropostale, naming "Amérique du Sud, Maroc-Algérie, Afrique Occidentale Française" – the network the pioneering French airmail company built. Starting from Toulouse in 1918, the line reached Casablanca in 1919 and Dakar by 1925, opened Brazil in 1927 and crossed the Andes to Santiago, Chile, in 1929. On 12–13 May 1930 Jean Mermoz flew the mail nonstop across the South Atlantic from Dakar to Natal in about 19 and a half hours, linking the two continents on the map.
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.
