A well-dressed traveling couple stands on top of the globe, surrounded by famous European landmarks, against a rich blue sky in this cheerful poster urging "See Europe Next." The artist and exact date are not recorded in the sources we checked. The idea of Europe as the next great trip was a staple of transatlantic travel advertising, aimed at American travelers who had already explored their own country. Steamship lines, railways and later airlines all used the same promise: a single journey could take in capitals, cathedrals and mountain scenery across a whole continent, with the world quite literally at the traveler's feet.
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.
