Dancers perform a Filipino folk dance while a carabao, the water buffalo of the rice fields, and birds in flight complete this 1950 "Mabuhay Miles" poster for Philippine Air Lines. Mabuhay is the Filipino word of welcome and good wishes. The artist is not recorded. Founded in 1941, PAL is the oldest commercial airline still operating in Asia, and around 1950 it was advertising a remarkable network that reached from Manila across the Pacific to San Francisco and west to London, presenting the Philippines as a crossroads between East and West.
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.
