Alaska Airlines sold its home state as "Vacationland with a difference" in this illustrated map poster, scattering scenes of the territory across the land and promoting the carrier's Golden Nugget jet service. The Golden Nugget theme, introduced in the early 1960s, was a tribute to the Klondike gold rush: Boeing 727 cabins were fitted with red-and-gold plush seats, tassels and wallpaper, flight attendants wore long velvet skirts and wide-brimmed hats, and advertising urged travelers to "jet the Gay 90s way." Even the float planes and freighters wore Golden Nugget paint. The artist of this poster 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.
