A busy market scene fills this poster from the PLM, the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée, promoting Algeria as a winter destination. "Hivernage" means wintering, and the railway sold the warm North African winter to travelers who could ride its trains south from Paris to Marseille and cross the Mediterranean by steamer. The PLM was famous for its large, colorful tourist posters, and this one leans on the color and bustle of the souk to make its case. It reflects the colonial-era travel trade of its time.
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.
