"Visite Espana - Vuele por Iberia" - visit Spain, fly Iberia - reads this poster from around the 1950s. Set against a black ground, figures in the traditional dress of Spain's different regions gather beneath a passing airliner, a reminder that the country is a patchwork of distinct cultures, from Andalusia to Galicia and Catalonia. Iberia, the national airline, used posters like this to present Spain as many destinations in one, all reachable on its domestic network. The artist is not recorded on our copy, but the colorful costumes against the dark background make it a vivid example of the airline's mid-century style.
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.
