An elderly man in a turban, his face lined and dignified, fills this vintage-style poster art for Pan Am, which carries the line "Fly to India and Pakistan by Clipper." The pairing of the two names places the design after the 1947 partition of British India, when Pakistan became a separate nation. This is a modern restored rendering, and the exact date and artist of any original are not recorded here. Pan Am named its airliners Clippers after the fast sailing ships of the nineteenth century, and the portrait approach used here, a single face standing for a whole region, was a favorite device of airline posters of the era.
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.
