Mario Borgoni (1869–1936), one of the great Neapolitan travel-poster artists, painted this view of the Italian Riviera around 1920. Seen from a terrace high above the coast, rocky cliffs drop into a sheltered bay at Portofino, with the French-language title naming its neighbors Santa Margherita and Rapallo. The color lithograph was printed in Naples by Richter & C., the firm behind many of Borgoni's landscapes, and the Library of Congress holds a copy. Written in French for the international crowd, it captures the Ligurian coast just as it was becoming a favorite of wealthy travelers arriving by train along the Riviera line.
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.
