Middle East Airlines, the Beirut-based carrier known as MEA, produced a series of posters for the destinations on its network, and this one sells Germany. Set against a deep dark green background, a red castle rises from the composition, surrounded by flowers in bright contrasting color. The castle is a shorthand for the storybook Germany of hilltop fortresses and river valleys that travelers dreamed of visiting, and the bold flat colors give the design a strong, modern graphic punch. It is a striking reminder that MEA linked Lebanon with the cities of Europe as well as the Arab world.
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.
