In this 1963 Air France poster for Greece, a woman wrapped in a black shawl stands before a dark cypress and a white hillside village, all set against a vivid Aegean blue. It is a quiet, timeless image of island life, in the bold, simplified style of 1960s travel graphics. The artist is not recorded in the sources we could check. By then Air France was flying Sud Aviation Caravelle jets on its European network, a service it had opened in May 1959 on the Paris–Rome–Istanbul route.
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.
