Clean white space, sweeping contrails and a swept-wing jet make this New York to London by Jet Clipper poster a pure statement of the jet age, with the route spelled out in red lettering. Pan American opened transatlantic Boeing 707 service in 1958, cutting hours off the crossing between the two cities, and posters like this sold speed and modernity as much as any destination. The spare composition lets the aircraft and its vapor trails do all the work. The artist and exact date are not recorded.
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.
