A vintage black touring car rolls past a cluster of red-roofed town buildings, with mountains rising beyond, in this English-language poster inviting foreign visitors to explore Germany by road. The artist and exact date are not recorded in the sources we checked. The style belongs to the interwar years, when German tourism offices printed posters in English, French and other languages to win over travelers from abroad. Motor touring was a fashionable new way to see a country, and posters like this one promised winding roads, half-timbered old towns and Alpine scenery to anyone willing to ship a car across or hire one on arrival.
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.
