A gaucho reins in a rearing horse while a woman holds an armful of flowers on this South America by Clipper poster from Pan American, set on a clean white ground. The pairing captures two sides of the continent as the airline sold it: the open spaces of the pampas and the color of its towns and festivals. Latin America was the foundation of Pan Am, and as late as 1941 most of its routes served South America and the West Indies. 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.
