A dancer in green beneath a wide straw hat moves across the pale background of this Pan Am "Fly to Cuba" poster from around 1950. Cuba held a special place in the airline's history: Pan Am's very first scheduled flight, in 1927, carried mail from Key West to Havana, and the island remained one of its busiest leisure destinations through the postwar years. The artist is not recorded. The light palette and single swirling figure capture the music-and-sunshine image that drew American travelers to Havana in the years before the 1959 revolution.
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.
