"Comfort in the Air" takes the viewer inside the cabin. A uniformed steward moves down the aisle serving passengers who sit back in roomy seats, the picture of a calm, well-run journey. Rather than showing a destination or the aircraft itself, the poster sells the experience of being on board, an approach airlines used to reassure travelers who had never flown before. Imperial Airways was the British airline of the years between the two world wars, and onboard service of this kind was a large part of how it set itself apart.

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.
