A yellow biplane banks over the rooftops of Bern with the snowy Alps on the horizon in this 1929 poster. Its German title, "Bern – Zentrum für Rund- und Alpen-Flüge," presents the Swiss capital as the center for sightseeing and Alpine flights, at a time when a short pleasure flight over the mountains was a thrilling novelty. The poster sets the medieval city, the river and the peaks in one sweep, the kind of view that only an airplane could offer. The artist is not recorded here.
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.
