A sleek airliner silhouette crosses a field of glowing yellow in this early-1930s poster for Air Union's "Golden Ray" – the Rayon d'Or – between Paris and London. Air Union was formed on 1 January 1923 by combining two pioneering French airlines, and in 1927 it introduced the Golden Ray as a luxury passenger service between Le Bourget and Croydon, flown by Lioré et Olivier LeO 21 airliners with a buffet on board. In October 1933 Air Union merged with four other carriers to create Air France. The artist is not recorded.
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.
