Delta Air Lines turned to music for this 1962 New Orleans poster. A jazz trumpeter, horn raised, plays against a field of deep blue, a simple and confident image of the city that gave the world jazz. The flat color and strong silhouette are typical of early-1960s airline graphics, when bold shapes replaced the detailed scenery of earlier decades. The artist is not recorded on our copy. New Orleans had special meaning for Delta, an airline with its own roots in Louisiana, where it was based in Monroe before moving its headquarters to Atlanta.
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.
