This horizontal route map lays out the Imperial Airways network across a map of the world. Lines fan out from Britain, tracing the services that tied together distant cities and continents at a time when long journeys were measured in many days of flying with frequent stops along the way. Route maps like this were both practical and proud, showing travelers where they could go while making the case for a network that spanned the globe. It is a handsome piece of airline cartography from the years between the two world wars.
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.
