Alphonse Dehédin designed this 1952 Air France poster, "Transporte tout, partout" (carries everything, everywhere). A four-engine airliner flies above a blue globe while, in the foreground, the cargo waits: wooden crates, suitcases, a bouquet of flowers, a caged bird and a clock. Printed by Perceval in Paris, it advertised the freight side of the business and shows the winged seahorse emblem, nicknamed "the shrimp," that Air France used from 1933 to 1975. The airline had been formed in 1933 from four companies: Air Orient, Air Union, CIDNA and the Farman lines.
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.
