A column of national flags rises through a blue sky beside an Air France airliner in this 1956 poster, whose English title boasts "The World's Longest Route Network." The artist is not recorded. Air France made the same claim in its French-language world map poster of 1956, which promised the most modern aircraft "on the longest network in the world," illustrated with Lockheed Super Constellations and Vickers Viscount turboprops. By then Air France routes reached from Paris across Europe, Africa, the Americas and on to Tokyo.
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.
