Cuban dancers, white doves and the silhouette of Morro Castle share a deep navy night in this Pan American poster for Havana from around 1940. The castle, a Spanish fortress guarding the entrance to Havana harbor, was the city's best-known landmark, and the dancers add the music and nightlife that made Havana a favorite getaway for Americans. The artist is not recorded. Havana had a special place in the airline's story: Pan American's very first scheduled flight, in 1927, carried mail from Key West to the Cuban capital, and the short hop remained one of its signature routes.
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.
