G. Dumas designed this 1950 Air France poster, seen here in its Spanish-language edition, "Extremo-Oriente." On a bold orange-red ground, a large conical hat printed with a map of Asia hangs above a temple scene with palm trees and tropical flowers, while an Air France Lockheed Constellation flies overhead. It was printed by Perceval in Paris to promote the airline's Far East flights. Two years later, on 24 November 1952, Air France opened Paris–Tokyo with Constellations, a journey of about 51 hours with stops at Beirut, Karachi and Saigon.
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.
